Ultrasound: From Diagnosis to Therapy
In the early 1950’s, Frank and William Fry discovered that high-frequency sound waves could be used to produce localized tissue damage.

Their original discovery has since been followed by decades of rapid developments in ultrasound, magnetic resonance and computed tomography imaging. By now, truly non-invasive, image-guided ultrasound therapy has become a clinical reality.

This program, brought to you by the French-American Chamber of Commerce, features a French-American panel of academic and industry experts. They will engage in a lively discussion on the rapidly expanding array of applications for therapeutic ultrasound and will also highlight for us the clinical challenges and regulatory hurdles facing these new developments.
