  2. Ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound

    Ultrasound imaging or sonography is often used in medicine. In the nondestructive testing of products and structures, ultrasound is used to detect invisible flaws. Industrially, ultrasound is used for cleaning, mixing, and accelerating chemical processes. Animals such as bats and porpoises use ultrasound for locating prey and obstacles. [2]

  3. Medical ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_ultrasound

    Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics (e.g., distances and velocities) or to generate an informative audible sound.

  4. Home ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_ultrasound

    Phonophoresis, also known as sonophoresis, is the use of ultrasound to enhance the delivery of topically applied drugs. Home ultrasound allows the application of topically applied analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents through the therapeutic application of ultrasound. It is widely used in hospitals to deliver drugs through the skin.

  5. Non-contact ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Contact_Ultrasound

    Therefore, most conventional ultrasound methods require the use of some type of acoustic coupling medium in order to efficiently transmit the energy from the sensor to the test material. Couplant materials can range from gels or jets of water to direct solder bonds. However, in non-contact ultrasound, ambient air is the only acoustic coupling ...

  6. Aesthetic medicine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesthetic_medicine

    Aesthetic medicine is a branch of modern medicine that focuses on altering natural or acquired unwanted appearance through the treatment of conditions including scars, skin laxity, wrinkles, moles, liver spots, excess fat, cellulite, unwanted hair, skin discoloration, spider veins [1] and or any unwanted externally visible appearance.

  7. Synthetic aperture ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_Aperture_Ultrasound

    Synthetic aperture ultrasound (SAU) imaging is an advanced form of imaging technology used to form high-resolution images in biomedical ultrasound systems. Ultrasound imaging has become an important and popular medical imaging method, as it is safer and more economical than computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

  8. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Low-intensity_pulsed_ultrasound

    Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a technology that can be used for therapeutic purposes. It exploits low intensity and pulsed mechanical waves in order to induce regenerative and anti-inflammatory effects on biological tissues, such as bone, [ 1 ] cartilage, and tendon. [ 2 ]

  9. Photoacoustic imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoacoustic_imaging

    Photoacoustic imaging or optoacoustic imaging is a biomedical imaging modality based on the photoacoustic effect.Non-ionizing laser pulses are delivered into biological tissues and part of the energy will be absorbed and converted into heat, leading to transient thermoelastic expansion and thus wideband (i.e. MHz) ultrasonic emission.
