Abstract[English]
Sonodynamic therapy systems and methods use short, high-pressure ultrasound pulses that produce small (and therefore clinically safe) increases (up to 1-2 °C) in tissue temperature but nonetheless activate sonodynamic agents, allowing isolated single-cavitation events to produce therapeutically beneficial effects (e.g., cytotoxicity) on diseased tissue. An escalating sonication strategy may be employed whereby the focal pressure is gradually increased until maximum clinically tolerable parameters such as the degree of heating of intervening tissue (e.g., the skull when treating brain cancer) or undesired induced cavitation effects are reached.[French]
Des systèmes et des procédés de thérapie sonodynamique utilisent des impulsions ultrasonores courtes et haute pression qui produisent des petites (et donc cliniquement sûres) augmentations (jusqu'à 1-2 °C) dans la température du tissu mais activent cependant des agents sonodynamiques, ce qui permet à des événements monocavitation isolés de produire des effets thérapeutiquement bénéfiques (par exemple, une cytotoxicité) sur un tissu malade. Une stratégie de sonication progressive peut être utilisée, la pression focale étant progressivement augmentée jusqu'à ce que des paramètres cliniquement tolérables maximaux tels que le degré de chauffage de tissu intervenant (par exemple, le crâne lors du traitement du cancer du cerveau) ou des effets de cavitation induits indésirables sont atteints.
