Extracorporeal blood sonication. Hemodialysis requires the patient's blood to be pumped outside of the body into an extracorporeal setting. This provides an opportunity for leukemia cells to be sonicated without sound attenuation from anatomical structures, as ultrasound can be applied to the dialysis tubing. Sound intensities would likely be reduced as there is only a tube standing in the way between the ultrasonic waves and the patient's blood.
