in which about a dozen second-year medical students learn the basics of ultrasound technology and technique beginning with the physics behind it and culminating in identifying pathological processes. ...

In the case of ultrasound imaging, physics involves sound waves at different tissue types in the body. If ultrasound waves reach a boundary between tissues with different acoustical ...

A new paper by a team of Concordia researchers from the departments of Biology and Physics proposes a novel method of ...

Ultrasound close ultrasoundSound with a frequency greater than 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). waves have a frequency higher than the upper limit for human hearing – above 20,000 Hertz (Hz). Different ...

Other areas of interest in Medical Physics include the measurement of ionising radiation, magnetic resonance imaging, and the application of lasers, ultrasound, and other technologies which utilise ...

The BAMs have a hydrophobic inner surface to prolong microbubble retention within biofluids and a hydrophilic outer layer ...

Concordia researchers have designed process that uses ultrasound to modify the behaviour of cancer-fighting T cells by increasing their cell permeability. They targeted freshly isolated human immune ...

Ultrasound-directed microbubbles could be used to influence the behavior of cancer-fighting T cells, reinvigorating the ...

Ultrasound can be used in industry to detect defects in metals. Materials can be tested for internal faults and cracks that could lead to the failure of a structure under certain conditions ...

Our interdisciplinary group, situated within both the Department of Physics and Biology at Concordia University, works on the development of an image-guided, targeted drug/gene delivery platform using ...
