CHAPTER.1 INTRODUCTION For decades‚ scientists have been using electromagnetic and sonic energy to serve medicine. But‚ aside from electro surgery‚ their efforts have focused on diagnostic imaging of internal body structures—particularly in the case of x-ray‚ MRI‚ and ultrasound systems. Lately‚ however‚ researchers have begun to see acoustic and electromagnetic waves in a whole new light‚ turning their attention to therapeutic—rather than diagnostic—applications. Current research is exploiting
