Medical Imaging Applications
Acoustic radiation force is currently being utilized in medical ultrasonic imaging to generate images based on the mechanical properties; Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) Imaging is one such modality. Other modalities include Shearwave Dispersion Ultrasound Vibrometry, Harmonic Motion Imaging (HMI), Supersonic Shear Imaging (SSI), and Spatially Modulated Ultrasound Radiation Force (SMURF).

Famous quotes containing the word medical:
“Unusual precocity in children, is usually the result of an unhealthy state of the brain; and, in such cases, medical men would now direct, that the wonderful child should be deprived of all books and study, and turned to play or work in the fresh air.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
