Methods and Protocols: Engine for the Next Wave of Biomedical Ultrasound Innovations

At the heart of a vehicle's operation is the engine. The same metaphoric relation applies between a research innovation and an experimental method. It is safe to say that innovations in biomedical ultrasonics cannot be materialized without foundational advances in experimental methods, tools, and protocols. Indeed, because biomedical ultrasonics naturally spans a diverse research space-thanks to its versatile applicability in both diagnostics and therapeutics-a broad range of investigative methods are correspondingly required to serve a multitude of experimental needs.
