Abstract:
1. A method for steering a medicant through a tissue, the tissue having a first region located at a first depth and a second region adjacent to the first region and located at a second depth, the method comprising the steps of: presenting a medicant to the first region of the tissue; focusing, using a source of ultrasound energy, a first acoustic energy from the source to the first region, the first acoustic energy having a first spatial and temporal energy profile configured to provide cavitation and radiation force, thereby initiating cavitation and radiation force, thereby moving the medicant from the first region to the second region; focusing, using the source of ultrasound energy, a second acoustic energy from the source to the second region, the second acoustic energy having a second spatial and temporal energy profile configured to enhance effectiveness of the medicant, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the medicant in the second region.
