Medical Ultrasonics: Applications of Ultrasound to Biologic Measurements

The achievement of reliable and reproducible measurements in the broad field of the life sciences demands the highest level of competency among the experts who know how to measure. The new technology called "sonics" encompasses heretofore problematic industrial measurements with ultrasound. The application of sonics for measurement in the biologic sciences gives promise. Methods for measuring the velocity of blood, the viscosity of blood and certain dimensions of living bodily tissues are described in this report.
