  2. Therapeutic ultrasound - Wikipedia

    The third is the gentle massage of muscle tendons and ligaments in the treated area because no strain is added and existing scar tissue may be softened with ultrasound. [21] These three benefits are achieved by two main effects of therapeutic ultrasound: thermal and non-thermal effects. [21]

  3. Ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound

    Ultrasound inspection of welded joints has been an alternative to radiography for nondestructive testing since the 1960s. Ultrasonic inspection eliminates the use of ionizing radiation, with safety and cost benefits. Ultrasound can also provide additional information such as the depth of flaws in a welded joint.

  4. 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 ]

  5. Transcranial pulsed ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_pulsed_ultrasound

    Opposing high-frequency ultrasound, LILFU holds the following benefits: lower absorption in tissue, greater physical penetration depth in tissue, stronger particle deflections, significantly better acoustic penetration and power in bone, greater influence in kinetic effects, immediate/short-term effect results, longer/persistent effects after ...

  6. 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.

    This year, women at risk of breast cancer began receiving reimbursement denials from Medicare for identical ultrasound screenings Medicare approved in 2023, patient documents show.

  8. Focused ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focused_ultrasound

    USgFUS, differently, is a 2D imaging technique in which, although no system to provide quantitative information on temperature has been commercially developed so far, several benefits are exploited, such as high frame rate (up to 1000 images per second), low cost and minimal adverse health effects. Another reason why ultrasound is ideal for ...

  9. Sonodynamic therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonodynamic_therapy

    Sonodynamic therapy could be used to treat cancers and other diseases, such as atherosclerosis, and diminish the risk associated with other treatment strategies since it induces cytotoxic effects only when externally stimulated by ultrasound and only at the cancerous region, as opposed to the systemic administration of chemotherapy drugs.
