Characterization of Medical Ultrasound Transducers using Infrared Imaging

Description:

Characterization of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) transducers operating at clinical power levels (1000 - 10000 W/cm2) can be difficult, owing to the possibility of hydrophone damage or sensor interference with the focused beam. This study presents a noninvasive method (no sensors are...

Mechanical Bioeffects of Pulsed High Intensity Focused Ultrasound on a Simple Neural Model

Description:

In the study of traumatic brain injury, an understanding of how pressure pulses affect nerves through mechanisms that are neither thermal nor cavitational in nature is important. This study used a simple neural model - the giant axon of the earthworm - in combination with a train of 825 kHz...
