BACKGROUND: Due to different physical and biological mechanisms behind ultrasound
hyperthermia and phonophoresis, the requirement for ultrasound power, frequency and …

Studying the wave propagation and the cellular effects of the ultrasound energy emitted by
physiotherapy equipments has been the direction of the past research issues. There are …

As many people are westernizing their life style and food consumption habits, a number of
patients who have malignant tumors which grow very rapidly and hazardously destroy the …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Previous research has shown that the amount of pressure
applied to an ultrasound head affects energy transmission. The purpose of this study was to …

Therapeutic ultrasound is an established technique for biomodulation used by physical
therapists. Typically it is used to deliver energy locally for the purpose of altering tissue …

In patient treatment, different ultrasound (US) frequencies are attributed to differences in
penetration and, as an effect of that, to different heating depths in tissues. A set of 13 …

Physiotherapists frequently use ultrasound machines for the treatment of chronic
inflammation, degenerative rheumatic disorders, ankle distortions, and post-traumatic …

Purpose: Focused ultrasonic radiation is known for its ability to induce thermal effects for
therapy deep in tissue without surgical intervention. To design a medium intensity focused …

An instrument is described that measures the ultrasonic frequency; pulse repetition rate;
pulse duration; timer accuracy; peak-to-rms pressure amplitude ratio; and, peak-to-average …

The purpose of this research was to investigate the feasibility of inducing perfusion
independent, predictable therapeutic thermal dose using high power ultrasonic pulses …
