Ultrasound B-mode (left) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound mode (right) images of peptide-functionalized drug-loaded nanoparticles at different time points of various LIFU settings. At high enough power, the nanoparticles exploded, which could be seen as a decrease in signal intensity at 2.8 W/cm². Reprinted (adapted) with premission from [81].
