Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing an organ-sized area of stable microbubble cavitation including insonating an organ of a patient using Low Intensity Non-Focused Ultrasound (LINFU) at a first setting, monitoring the organ to detect presence of desired stable cavitation microbubble resonance and presence of unwanted inertial cavitation, when the presence of stable cavitation microbubble resonance is not detected then adjusting insonation parameters so as to increase the level of insonation, and when inertial cavitation is detected then adjusting the insonation parameters so as to decrease the level of insonation. Related apparatus and methods are also described.

Abstract: Methods and techniques for obtaining enriched cell samples from an organ in a subject using an ultrasound contrast agent and insonating. Contiguous fragments of epithelia are obtained which are useful for subsequent histological analysis and for informing therapy and other medical considerations.

Abstract: An ultrasound probe configured for insonating a pancreas. The probe is sized and shaped to be placed on a patient's abdomen in an area that is just between the right and left rib cage sections. The probe transmits ultrasound energy in order to insonate substantially the entire pancreas at the same time. One or more cavitation detectors are positioned within the probe to detect an incidence of cavitation.
