Description
Book SynopsisComplete and comprehensive reference on the principles of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques using pressure oscillation
Pressure Oscillation in Biomedical Diagnostics and Therapy presents key findings in imaging, diagnostics, and therapies using high and low frequency pressure waves in a concise and easy-to-understand way, focusing primarily on the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems that utilize acoustics (mechanical wave motion). The work provides basic background in relevant acoustic theory as well as specific technical information associated with modern medical applications. Low frequency acoustics (pressure oscillation) and some aspects of ultrasound (radiation force) are also reviewed. The principles in the work can be extended to include other areas relating to materials and metal diagnostics.
To allow for maximum reader comprehension regardless of current expertise on the subject, each chapter includes a brief history, current developments, a
