Ultrasound is a useful tool for diagnostics and therapeutics in the medical field, and microbubbles can be used to improve diagnostics with ultrasonography. Recently, it was reported that the combination of nano- and micro-sized bubbles and ultrasound can enhance the effects of diagnostics and therapeutics. Therefore, this combination could be a new technology for ultrasound theranostics combined therapy and diagnostics. Especially, this theranostics is showing promise as drug delivery system and for tumor treatment. In this presentation, we will introduce our bubble preparation and feasibility studies of our bubbles for ultrasound theranostics.
