This 2027 Winter School on Therapeutic Ultrasound will explore the rapidly emerging field of therapeutic ultrasound. Topics will range from an introduction to the physics and biophysics necessary for understanding these techniques through to their clinical application. This is a broad and complex topic in which the synergy of a multidisciplinary approach is particularly valuable. The Winter School will encourage this approach. Each topic will be covered by an invited speaker who is a world authority in the field.
Organizers: Gail ter Haar (London, UK), Vera Khokhlova (Moscow, RU), Jean-François Aubry (Paris, FR). Contact: physmed-workshop@espci.fr
