Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology

Aims & Scope

Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology is the official journal of the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology.

The journal publishes original contributions that demonstrate a novel application of an existing ultrasound technology in clinical diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic applications, new and improved clinical techniques, the physics, engineering and technology of ultrasound in medicine and biology, and the interactions between ultrasound and biological systems, including bioeffects.

Papers that simply utilize standard diagnostic ultrasound as a measuring tool will be considered out of scope.

Extended critical reviews of subjects of contemporary interest in the field are also published, in addition to occasional editorial articles, clinical and technical notes, book reviews, letters to the editor and a calendar of forthcoming meetings.

It is the aim of the journal fully to meet the information and publication requirements of the clinicians, scientists, engineers and other professionals who constitute the biomedical ultrasonic community.
