Abstract
This review describes the use of ultrasound as a treatment modality for cardiovascular diseases. Ultrasound is widely used for diagnosis in cardiovascular pathology. However, it is not much used for therapeutic purposes. Therapeutic ultrasound includes thermal and mechanical effects. Therapeutic applications already available or still under research in venous, arterial, and cardiac diseases will be described.
期刊介绍:
IRBM is the journal of the AGBM (Alliance for engineering in Biology an Medicine / Alliance pour le génie biologique et médical) and the SFGBM (BioMedical Engineering French Society / Société française de génie biologique médical) and the AFIB (French Association of Biomedical Engineers / Association française des ingénieurs biomédicaux).
As a vehicle of information and knowledge in the field of biomedical technologies, IRBM is devoted to fundamental as well as clinical research. Biomedical engineering and use of new technologies are the cornerstones of IRBM, providing authors and users with the latest information. Its six issues per year propose reviews (state-of-the-art and current knowledge), original articles directed at fundamental research and articles focusing on biomedical engineering. All articles are submitted to peer reviewers acting as guarantors for IRBM''s scientific and medical content. The field covered by IRBM includes all the discipline of Biomedical engineering. Thereby, the type of papers published include those that cover the technological and methodological development in:
-Physiological and Biological Signal processing (EEG, MEG, ECG…)-
Medical Image processing-
Biomechanics-
Biomaterials-
Medical Physics-
Biophysics-
Physiological and Biological Sensors-
