Abstract
A spectrophotometric and a radioactive-label technique were used to assess for acoustically induced iodine release from sodium iodide. For both techniques there was a dose-dependent relationship between the percentage of iodine released and the ultrasound intensity (1 MHz, ISP to 30 W/cm2, continuous wave for 1 min). Iodine release decreased with increased atmospheric pressure or increased concentrations of the radical scavenger cysteamine, thus confirming that the release was related to cavitational processes.
