Over the last decade, the main thrust of research on bio-effects of ultrasound has been
directed towards prevention of the occurrence of any effects that may potentially be injurious …

Over the past ten years ultrasound has become well established as the basis of a varied and
expanding group of medical diagnostic techniques. It is also used therapeutically in a wide …

The effect of ultrasonic irradiation on the viability of human normal (foreskin fibroblast and
amniotic fluid epithelial) and tumor (breast carcinoma, melanoma, and lung carcinoma) cells …

The history of ultrasound related to bioeffects studies begins in the 1920's and continues to
the present. Because of the type of effects exhibited between high-frequency mechanical …

CHO cells were exposed to therapeutic-intensity ultrasound under various conditions. Cell
killing was dependent upon the amount of gas dissolved in the treatment medium. No …

This review examines the nonthermal physical mechanisms by which ultrasound can harm
tissue in postnatal patients. First the physical nature of the more significant interactions …

Confirmed experimental mammalian biological effects have occurred at intensities above
100 mW/cm 2. Reports (mostly with in vitro cell systems) of effects using diagnostic …

This overview of bioeffects of ultrasound presents some key aspects of selected papers
dealing with biophysical end-points. Its purpose is to establish a basis for exposure and …

Mammalian tissues have differing sensitivities to damage by physical agents such as
ultrasound. This article evaluates the scientific data in terms of known physical mechanisms …
