Most people have heard about ultrasound and many have used it. Familiarity with ultrasound in medical applications is already established, but there are many other areas where ultrasound can make massive contributions to our understanding of processes and transformations.

For instance, ultrasound tomography allows us to ‘see’ dynamic processes in a non-invasive way, enabling accurate on-line analysis and evaluations of critical scenarios. Understanding the scattering phenomena of ultrasound in particulate systems produces a huge amount of information on particle, colloid and gel characterisation.

If you have used ultrasound, or can see its potential, but don’t quite know how to take the next step, then contact the Food Chain CIC for further information or see our introductory presentation on ultrasound
