The properties of ultrasound waves traveling through the medium of biological tissues has been extensively studied in recent years and implemented into many important medical tools.
As stated above, properties of ultrasound energy traveling through biological tissues has been extensively studied in recent years.
Recorded information from transducers such as the relationship to the site of origin and intensity of the signal can then be put together to form images of what lies inside the target tissues.
The advent of ultrasound technology has completely changed the medical diagnostic field due to its non-invasive characteristic.
This reduces the amount of invasive and risky diagnostic procedures and increases the chances of a correct diagnosis.
Recent testing has shown that ultrasound can increase the effectiveness of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Aspirated fluids are replaced with irrigation of balanced salt solution to maintain the volume of the anterior chamber during the procedure.
This procedure minimises the incision size and reduces the recovery time and risk of surgery induced astigmatism.
