IntroductionUltrasound therapy is an emerging
modality in clinics;High-intensity low-duration ultrasound
pulse can be implemented in drug delivery, thrombolysis, etc.
Histotripsy can be used to erode soft tissue noninvasively;
Bubble dynamics plays an important role in such application.

ConclusionsCharacteristics of bubble dynamics vary
with the progress of the ultrasound therapy;
Ultrasound parameters (i.e., burst duration, frequency, target type) have great influence on the bubble dynamics, thermal effects, and consequent lesion formation;
Appropriate combination of mechanical and thermal effect would broaden the application;
Monitoring bubble dynamics could control the ultrasound therapy effectively and efficiently.
