Laser-generated Ultrasound Technology
Description
Comprehensive reference on various laser-generated ultrasound technologies and their applications across fields
Laser-generated Ultrasound Technology explores basic principles, device development, and applications in laser-generated ultrasound. The book delves into the photoacoustic effect and its history and addresses several types of laser-generated ultrasound devices.
This book includes information on:
- Laser-generated ultrasound therapy, covering neuromodulation, drug delivery, and histotripsy/thrombolysis
- Laser-induced ultrasound devices, covering metal-PDMS composite-based devices and carbon nanomaterial-PDMS composite-based devices
- All-optical ultrasound imaging, covering fiber-based ultrasonic excitation, optical detection technology of ultrasound, and biological imaging
- The theory of laser-generated ultrasound pressure, frequency regulation of laser-generated ultrasound, and prediction of laser-induced damage threshold
Laser-generated Ultrasound Technology is an essential introductory resource on the subject for researchers in optics, materials, and biomedical ultrasound.
