Ultrasound can treat a range of conditions, with recent developments including new treatments for cancer, stroke and bone repair. EMRP project Dosimetry for Ultrasound Therapy (HLT03 DUTy) will support an increase in the use of ultrasound treatments by establishing measurements, reference standards and modelling techniques to build traceability for exposure to ultrasound and the dose to tissue.
HLT03 JRP-Partners will be presenting the results of the JRP at 13th International Symposium on Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU 13). A broad range of topics will be covered at ISTU 2013 including Standards and Safety, Transducers and Devices, Treatment Planning and Control, Non-Invasive Monitoring and Assessment, Nanotechnology & microbubbles, Therapy System Development, Ultrasound Thermal Therapies, Novel Therapeutic Systems and Strategies, and Clinical Studies.
