  • UTILIZING ULTRASOUND TO DISRUPT PATHOGENS
    Publication number: 20100113983
    Abstract: Provided are systems and/or methods that treat illnesses and conditions using ultrasound tuned to a resonant frequency of a target material with the assistance of computer processing. The ultrasound tuned to the resonance frequency of a target material destroys the target material without harming healthy material that surrounds the target material. A resonance frequency database can be employed to ensure that local healthy material surrounding a target has a natural resonance frequency dissimilar enough from the tuned resonance frequency.
