Although pressure gradients across valvar obstructions can be estimated by incorporating peak flow velocity distal to obstruction into a modified Bernoulli equation, such attempts in aortic ...

as well as a host of other life-changing medical questions with the help of ultrasound technology. Beyond babies, sonograms are used to help diagnose medical conditions by creating images of body ...

These microbubbles are generated through a process called sonication, in which high-intensity ultrasonic waves are applied to liquids. The energy from these waves heats and pressurizes the bubbles, ...

But after a couple of years of work, xMEMS has arrived at the next generation — ultrasound through a solid-state speaker. This tiny, 1mm-thin speaker is called Cypress, and after listening to it ...

The device delivers ultrasound energy to the patient’s pancreas and generates localized heat of up to 100 degrees Celsius that destroys cancer cells in the organ. Other types of ultrasound waves ...
