The process is very similar to ultrasound imaging. However, the sound waves used are within normal hearing range, and they are used to identify objects rather than internal structures. This ...

Ultrasound, like audible sounds, is transmitted by means of longitudinal waves. Ultrasound is used in medicine to break up kidney stones and gall stones. It is also used, in a process known as ...

The University of Virginia's Natasha D. Sheybani, PhD, is exploring the potential of focused ultrasound to improve ...

At the heart of the technology lies ultrasound—sound waves that travel at frequencies beyond the range of human hearing. While typically silent to our ears, ultrasound waves can be manipulated ...

University of Virginia researcher Natasha D. Sheybani, PhD, has received $5.5 million from the federal Department of Defense to support her cutting-edge efforts to use focused sound waves to improve ...
