Effect of ultrasound on the release of micro-encapsulated drugs

Although ultrasound is used extensively in medical therapies and diagnostics, it has been recognized only recently as a method for external controlled delivery of drugs. In this paper, firstly, a literature review on drug delivery and the combination with ultrasound is given. Then an experiment is d...

Zusammenfassung:	Although ultrasound is used extensively in medical therapies and diagnostics, it has been recognized only recently as a method for external controlled delivery of drugs. In this paper, firstly, a literature review on drug delivery and the combination with ultrasound is given. Then an experiment is described on measuring the release of a model drug (hexabrix) under ultrasound irradiation, from a polymer carrier.
