Ultrasound creates value to biomedicine:It might not be self-evident that ultrasound does not only enable imaging or measurements, but importantly it can create various non-linear effects, which can be used for medical purposes. Examples of the opportunities of ultrasound in biomedicine beyond imaging include drug delivery, non-invasive surgery, gene delivery, sonoporation etc. The physics behind these methods and many more will be covered during the course, in connection with the real-world use. The following video exemplifies how ultrasound helps cancer diagnostics, by providing better samples than current conventional technologies allow:
