The basic physical characteristics of ultrasound waves are reviewed in terms of the typical
displacements, velocities, accelerations and pressures generated in various fluid media as a …

From an acoustical point of view, bone is a complex medium as it is heterogeneous,
anisotropic and viscoelastic. This chapter reviews the basic notions of physical acoustics …

Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging provides a unified description of the physical principles of
ultrasound imaging, signal processing, systems and measurements. This comprehensive …

Recent published results in inverse scattering generally show the difficulty in dealing with
moderate to high contrast inhomogeneities when employing linearized or iteratively …

We describe a novel 3-D ultrasound technology, the quantitative transmission ultrasound
system and algorithm to image a pendent breast in a water bath. Quantitative accuracy is …

Many studies have explored phase-change contrast agents (PCCAs) that can be vaporized
by an ultrasonic pulse to form microbubbles for ultrasound imaging and therapy. However …

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging biomedical imaging technique that combines
the advantages of optical and ultrasound imaging, enabling the generation of images with …

Transcranial ultrasonic stimulation (TUS) is an emerging technology for non-invasive brain
stimulation. Currently, there are no established guidelines for the safe application of …

Conspectus Technologies for neuromodulation have rapidly developed in the past decade
with a particular emphasis on creating noninvasive tools with high spatial and temporal …

Tissue engineering holds great potential for saving the lives of thousands of organ
transplant patients who die each year while waiting for donor organs. However, to …
