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:
“They said I’d never get you back again.
I tell you what you’ll never really know:
all the medical hypothesis
that explained my brain will never be as true as these
struck leaves letting go.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
