in which about a dozen second-year medical students learn the basics of ultrasound technology and technique beginning with the physics behind it and culminating in identifying pathological processes. ...

In a fun experiment, Max Koch, a researcher at the University of Göttingen in Germany—who also happens to be passionate about ...

In this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast, we explore how computational physics is being used to develop new quantum materials; and we look at how ultrasound can help detect breast cancer.

The practice of examining pregnant women using ultrasound is called obstetric sonography, and is widely used. In physics, 'ultrasound' refers to sound waves with a frequency too high for humans to ...

We found a new way to send sound to one specific listener: through self-bending ultrasound beams and a concept called nonlinear acoustics. Ultrasound refers to sound waves with frequencies above ...

Ultrasound close ultrasoundSound with a frequency greater than 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). waves have a frequency higher than the upper limit for human hearing – above 20,000 Hertz (Hz). Different ...

Other areas of interest in Medical Physics include the measurement of ionising radiation, magnetic resonance imaging, and the application of lasers, ultrasound, and other technologies which utilise ...

GE HealthCare and Nvidia are collaborating on the artificial intelligence-powered technologies to automate repetitive tasks.

Ultrasound can be used in industry to detect defects in metals. Materials can be tested for internal faults and cracks that could lead to the failure of a structure under certain conditions ...
