Abstract

It was pointed out in Chapter 1 that ultrasound interacts intimately with tissues. These interactions occur at different levels, which from a practical point of view can be classified on the basis of the sizes of the acoustic inhomogeneities. In principle, the interactions occur at molecular as well as macroscopic levels.
