One of MANY cool things about this....
Technician uses ultrasound waves to watch the other ultrasound waves destroy whatever their tuned to, in real time. Fascinating.

I'd heard of ultrasound used to break up kidney stones, but not this...sounds amazing. Maybe could be used instead of prostate surgery?

I've got a PhD friend who works on this stuff as her career at UVa. Her field is vet applications, but they're doing some cool stuff with both humans and animals.

Yup.
This is only the tip. Very interesting star trek tech is about to drop. Not just medical, but power, propulsion, etc... Says the crazy guy from rocky top!!

His sound therapy worked? He is doing much better? If so, that is so awesome to hear.

Funny how any medical treatment that doesn’t require expensive and potentially addictive prescription drugs immediately gets flagged as fake news or a quack. Why do you suppose that is?

On of my wife’s long term friends had it done for a brain tumor. It seems to have worked well.

This would be a very interesting topic, and I suspect most know the answer. I'm just happy this tech is finally becoming available (again)!!
