abstract = "Stroke is the second cause of death and a leading cause of disability worldwide. Less than 5% of ischemic stroke patients receive the state-of-the art treatment of a thrombolytic drug tPA, and only about 10% of these gain additional benefit from it. Ultrasound (US)-induced microbubble (MB) cavitation has been shown to enhance the efficacy of the tPA drug, and dissolve clots without tPA. Such a sonothrombolysis (STL) treatment requires monitoring and control of MB cavitation to ensure its reproducible efficacy and safety.",
