Our research on acoustic radiation force measurements has been published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (Q1)
Our paper «Method for measuring acoustic radiation force of a focused ultrasound beam acting on an elastic sphere» has been published in the top-rated journal The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (Q1, IF 2.1). In this paper, a method for measuring the acoustic radiation force acting on a solid spherical scatterer in liquid is proposed and experimentally realized.
LIMU at the “Medical Neurotechnologies” LiFT-2025 Young Scientists School
On April 17-18 2025, the Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University hosted the "Medical Neurotechnologies" LiFT-2025 Young Scientists School, where LIMU research fellow Alisa Krokhmal presented the results of a joint study by LIMU and the V.S. Buzaev International Medical Center. The study introduces a new method to improve skull ultrasound conductivity using bisphosphonate therapy, enabling successful thermal ablation procedures even with initially low skull density ratio (SDR) values.
