chapter 1 Introduction -- chapter 2 Wave Equation -- chapter 3 Sound Reection, Refraction, and Transmission -- chapter 4 Acoustic Field and Wave Radiation -- chapter 5 Acoustical Properties of Biological Tissue -- chapter 6 Nonlinear Acoustics -- chapter 7 Cavitation -- chapter 8 Transducer -- chapter 9 Acoustic Field Calibration and Measurement -- chapter 10 Ultrasonic Physiotherapy -- chapter 11 Hyperthermia -- chapter 12 Shock Wave Lithotripsy and Treatment -- chapter 13 High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound -- chapter 14 Ultrasound-Mediated Drug Delivery/Gene Transfection.
Abstract: Principles and Applications of Therapeutic Ultrasound in Healthcare introduces concepts, principles, construction, and applications of therapeutic ultrasound: from bench to bedside. A comprehensive examination of the industry and medical application of ultrasound therapy, this book highlights working principles, research progress, and system structures of therapeutic ultrasound. It describes the principles of therapeutic ultrasound, details the system construction, introduces current and emerging applications, and discusses developing therapeutic ultrasound technologies.Divided into two parts, the book first introduces the fundamentals of biomedical acoustics, discusses ultrasound calibration methods, and the structures of available therapeutic ultrasound systems before moving on to the various applications of ultrasound therapy used in clinics. It includes a variety of extensive clinical trials, outcome photos and illustrating figures, and a critical commentary on the challenges in this field.
