question is HIFU. HIFU stands for high-intensity focused ultrasound. According to wikipedia‚ HIFU is “similar to using a magnifying glass to focus sunlight. Focused ultrasound uses an acoustic lens to concentrate multiple intersecting beams of ultrasound on a target.

Ultrasound imaging should be performed professionally and only when clinically pointed out to decrease fetal contact risk using the keeping acoustic output levels As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle. Ultrasonography consist of the use of sound waves and is not a form of ionizing radiation. There have been no news of recognized conflicting fetal effects for diagnostic ultrasonography measures‚ as well as duplex Doppler imaging.

ULTRASOUND PHYSICS Name Institution a) Calculate the Acoustic impedance of subcutaneous tissue‚ muscle and bone. Assume subcutaneous tissue has a density of 1060kg/m3 (Hedrick 2003)‚ muscle has a density of 1104kg/m3 (Madjor 2008) and bone has a density of 5065kg/m3 (Hedrick 2003). Give your answer in Mrayls. Please use speed of sound as 1540m/s for tissue‚ muscle and bone In ultrasound‚ Acoustic impedance (Z) is the quantity of measurement of resistance to sound when passing through a medium
