Medical Applications of Ultrasound

Ultrasound has many medical applications; hemorrhage control, medical
imaging and cancer treatment to name a few. While some of these applications
are well established in the medical field, many are still under research and
development. In this talk, I will discuss some of the newer applications of
medical ultrasound and how they work. In particular, I will discuss my
research in the area of high intensity focused ultrasound for hemorrhage
control, the physical challenges limiting this technology and how these
challenges may be overcome.
