Figure 1 Schematic representation of substance delivery using ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction. An ultrasound contrast agent with an attached or incorporated bioactive substance is administered into the vasculature and will distribute throughout the capillaries. Ultrasound can then destroy microbubbles in the target region, thus releasing the transported substance into the surrounding tissue.
