[Physical basis and therapeutic range of application of ultrasonic aerosols (author's transl)]. 1979

An aerosol of an aqueous solution still changes its size from development up to alveoli; therefore only conclusions can be made about possible sizes of particle spectrum. Volatilisation, condensation, coagulation and sedimentation are the important interfering factors. To characterize an aerosol one should know the aerosolvolume, the quantity of nebulised substance and the relative size distribution. A method for measurement of size distribution -- a radioactive aerosol was deposited in a spiral centrifuge -- is described and the aerosol of two ultrasonic nebulizers were compared. Because of their physical properties aerosols of ultrasonic nebulizers play a main part in prophylaxis and therapy of functional lesion of bronchopulmonary affections.

D000336 Aerosols Colloids with a gaseous dispersing phase and either liquid (fog) or solid (smoke) dispersed phase; used in fumigation or in inhalation therapy; may contain propellant agents. Aerosol
D014465 Ultrasonics A subfield of acoustics dealing in the radio frequency range higher than acoustic SOUND waves (approximately above 20 kilohertz). Ultrasonic radiation is used therapeutically (DIATHERMY and ULTRASONIC THERAPY) to generate HEAT and to selectively destroy tissues. It is also used in diagnostics, for example, ULTRASONOGRAPHY; ECHOENCEPHALOGRAPHY; and ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, to visually display echoes received from irradiated tissues. Ultrasonic
D014835 Volatilization A phase transition from liquid state to gas state, which is affected by Raoult's law. It can be accomplished by fractional distillation. Vaporization,Volatility
