New Book Highlights Emerging Therapeutic Uses of Ultrasound Technology in Medical Applications
Scientist and teacher releases book summarizing his field of research from the last 25 years
BALTIMORE, Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Author Victor Frenkel, PhD, has published his new popular science book, “Beyond Imaging: The Amazing Power of Ultrasound: from Destroying Tumors to Healing the Brain, and More!,” which details the potential of using ultrasound therapeutically, rather than just for diagnostic imaging. With nearly 30 years of experience as a teacher, mentor and research scientist, Frenkel describes the cutting-edge technology, including the various noninvasive, image-guided devices that are used and the unique medically relevant effects they can generate.
In “Beyond Imaging,” Frenkel takes readers beyond the familiar diagnostic uses of ultrasound in medical practice, to explore its uses for a wide range of therapeutic applications that include the treatment of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In this illustrated and easy to read book, Frenkel guides readers through the evolution of the treatments, starting from the basic physics of sound waves, and up until the impressive devices that are used to carry out these ground-breaking treatments.
“This book serves as an engaging introduction to ultrasound technology, designed for those who have always been curious about its capabilities for both imaging and therapy, and focuses on the fascinating uses and cutting-edge devices that are revolutionizing the treatment of diseases and conditions today,” Frenkel said.
In 2023, Frenkel also released a heartfelt memoir about his dog, Grover. The memoir shares the story of an eight-year-old Labrador retriever that Frenkel and his two sons rescued during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic. Readers can learn more at PR.com.
“I want this book to inspire readers to explore the incredible potential of therapeutic ultrasound,” Frenkel said. “It’s an exciting frontier in medical technology that’s already making a difference in patient care, and I encourage aspiring researchers to consider this dynamic field.”
