TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 16. Therapeutic Ultrasound A1 - Schrope, Beth A2 - Schrope, Beth Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Surgical and Interventional Ultrasound AB - One of the chief reasons for using ultrasound as a diagnostic modality relates to its superior safety profile, where the principle of ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) yields great information at low energy. Yet, when ultrasound energy is employed at higher powers, it offers a number of therapeutic possibilities. Not needing the high frequencies required for imaging resolution also permits greater depth of penetration if desired.
