Combining optics and ultrasound leads to many powerful techniques for
probing and manipulating matter. Applications are wide ranging and include
medical imaging, non destructive testing and fundamental science ranging from
the macroscale down to the nanoscale. Following highly successful meetings we are pleased to announce Optics+Ultrasound VII, sponsored by the Institute of Physics and the UK Acoustics Network Plus. This will cover all aspects of combining light and sound.
Suggested topics include: laser ultrasonics/ photoacoustic imaging / ultrasound
modulated optical tomography / modelling of light sound interaction /
elastography / phononics / acoustic microscopy / non destructive testing /
medical imaging / generation / detection / novel contrast agents e.g.
nanoparticles, microbubbles / reconstruction algorithms / thin films /
structure materials / transducers and sensors.
