Therapeutic ultrasound refers generally to the use of ultrasound for the treatment of a medical condition or for therapeutic benefit, distinct from diagnostic ultrasound imaging. Physiotherapeutic ultrasound was introduced into clinical practice in the 1950s, followed by ultrasound-based lithotripsy in the 1980s, and other therapeutic applications of ultrasound have continued to develop since, including high-intensity focused ultrasound, targeted and trans-dermal ultrasound drug delivery, ultrasound hemostasis, cancer therapy and ultrasound-assisted thrombolysis, at various stages of transition from research toward clinical use.
