Abstract
Ultrasound is probably the only clinical therapy modality that does not as yet have a well established dosimetric parameter. There are a number of reasons for this. Unlike other energy forms, ultrasound produces cell killing by two distinct principle mechanisms: cavitation and heating. While dose parameters have been proposed for each mechanism, there has been no attempt to combine these into a single unit. Existing dosimetric methods will be reviewed and put into the context of other therapeutic methods. Biological and physical end points will be discussed.
