Sonothrombolysis induces clot breakdown using ultrasound waves to excite microbubbles. Despite the great potential, selecting optimal ultrasound (frequency and pressure) and microbubble (radius) parameters remains a challenge. To address this, a computational model was developed to investigate the b...
