AT Collections – Biomedical Acoustics of Ultrasound
High frequency sound is used in the diagnosis of medical conditions and in treating medical issues. Indeed, its use is increasing and many members of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) are engaged in the development of the use of ultrasound for medical and other purposes.

In addition to articles from AT, the Acoustical Society of America has a growing list of podcasts, based on interesting articles in its various publications, that discuss a wide range of topics. Here is one on Lung Ultrasound podcast and another on Measurement and simulation of steered acoustic fields generated by a multi-element array for therapeutic ultrasound.
