ABSTRACT

Therapeutic ultrasound has two major applications; one is sonodynamic therapy and high-intensity- focused ultrasound. Ultrasound can be used for detection and treatment of pelvic abnormalities, muscle and ligament sprains, joint inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis trauma and many more applications. Medical ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging technique used to see internal body parts such as joints, vessels, muscles and tendon. Mechanical tissue fractionation was achieved using high-intensity ultrasound pulses in a process known as histotripsy. Drug-delivery vehicles that integrate ultrasonic and molecular targeting are known to locally concentrate a drug at a specific location. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided focused ultrasound surgery is widely used as a noninvasive thermal ablation technique that makes use of MRI for target definition, treatment methodology and closed-loop monitor of energy storage. Ishtiaq et al. reviewed different applications of ultrasound in pharmaceutics, such as drug dispensation, formulation, drug delivery, and so forth and its use.
