The application of optical interferometry to the measurement and prediction of focused acoustic fields

The application of optical interferometry to the measurement and prediction of focused acoustic fields

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) has been applied as an acceptable therapeutic technique and various HIFU systems have achieved clinical approval for general use in numerous countries. To ensure that an HIFU system is used in a safe and reliable application, its acoustic field needs to be ch...
