11th International Symposium on Therapeutic Ultrasound

The annual International Symposium on Therapeutic Ultrasound is the main focus of the activities of the International Society for Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU). ISTU's goal is to increase and diffuse knowledge of therapeutic ultrasound to the scientific and medical community, and to facilitate the translation of therapeutic ultrasound techniques into the clinical arena for the benefit of patients worldwide. The Proceedings distill the best presentations of the symposia and provide a reference for new and experienced workers in the field.

AIP Conference Proceedings report findings presented at many of the most important scientific meetings around the world
Published proceedings are valuable as topical status reports providing quick access to information before it appears in the traditional journal literature
