in which about a dozen second-year medical students learn the basics of ultrasound technology and technique beginning with the physics behind it and culminating in identifying pathological processes. ...

The practice of examining pregnant women using ultrasound is called obstetric sonography, and is widely used. In physics, 'ultrasound' refers to sound waves with a frequency too high for humans to ...

We found a new way to send sound to one specific listener: through self-bending ultrasound beams and a concept called nonlinear acoustics. Ultrasound refers to sound waves with frequencies above ...

Ultrasound close ultrasoundSound with a frequency greater than 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). waves have a frequency higher than the upper limit for human hearing – above 20,000 Hertz (Hz). Different ...

Microbubbles that react to ultrasound are a particularly promising ... author of the study which was recently published in ...

Other areas of interest in Medical Physics include the measurement of ionising radiation, magnetic resonance imaging, and the application of lasers, ultrasound, and other technologies which utilise ...

Ultrasound can be used in industry to detect defects in metals. Materials can be tested for internal faults and cracks that could lead to the failure of a structure under certain conditions ...
