Abstract
Due to its low risk, high accuracy, and deep penetration into tissue, Ultrasound (US) has become one of the most widely used methods in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. US is gaining more attention in the Drug/gene Delivery Systems (DDS) due to the countless benefits it offers in relations of site-precise delivery as well as spatial statementdelivery of medications/genetic factor. The most popular type of ultrasound-responsive delivery material is Microbubbles (MBs). Nanobubbles, droplets, micelles, as well as nanoliposomes are just some of the recent innovations in this area that serve as carriers. In order to encourage further research into ultrasound approachable materials as distributioncarters, we review recent successes with novel ultrasound receptive materials (Microbubbles (MBs), Micelles, Liposomes and Niosomes) and deliberate the challenges associated with using Ultrasound-Responsive Materials (US-RM) in Drug Delivery Systems (DDS).
