Modelling And Vibration Analysis Of Alveolar Resonance Mechanism Of Ultrasound-Induced Lung Haemorrhage

The most widely studied biological adverse effect of the diagnostic ultrasound is the ultrasound-induced lung haemorrhage. The ultrasound-induced lung haemorrhage has been observed in various experimental studies on animals. Nevertheless, the actual mechanism by which the ultrasound-induced lung hae...

description The most widely studied biological adverse effect of the diagnostic ultrasound is the ultrasound-induced lung haemorrhage.
