The application of supraphysiological temperatures (> 40 C) to biological tissues causes
changes at the molecular, cellular, and structural level, with corresponding changes in tissue …

The nondestructive assessment of the damage that occurs in components during service
plays a key role for condition monitoring and residual life estimation of in-service …

The effective operation of certain electronic, medical, industrial, and testing equipment relies
on high-quality focusing and imaging capability, which also plays a vital role in the field of …

In high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy, an ultrasound beam is focused within
the body to locally affect the targeted site without damaging intervening tissues. The most …

Histotripsy is a therapy that focuses short-duration, high-amplitude pulses of ultrasound to
incite a localized cavitation cloud that mechanically breaks down tissue. To investigate the …

In this study, the negative pressure values at which inertial cavitation consistently occurs in
response to a single, two-cycle, focused ultrasound pulse were measured in several media …

Histotripsy is a relatively new therapeutic ultrasound technology to mechanically liquefy
tissue into subcellular debris using high-amplitude focused ultrasound pulses. In contrast to …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of hydrophones, their design considerations,
physical aspects, and structures by reviewing many publications that have been published …

Focused ultrasound (FUS) has been employed on a wide range of clinical applications to
safely and non-invasively achieve desired effects that have previously required invasive and …

Nonlinear propagation causes high-intensity ultrasound waves to distort and generate
higher harmonics, which are more readily absorbed and converted to heat than the …
