On Episode 149 of The TLB Podcast, James welcomes back Michael Pridmore for a deep dive into the rapidly evolving world of ultrasound technology in modern medicine. Together, they explore how ultrasound works at a fundamental physics level, its expanding diagnostic and therapeutic applications, and why it remains one of the most accessible and versatile tools in healthcare today.
The conversation spans elastography, targeted drug delivery using microbubbles, ablation techniques, and emerging uses of sound and vibration in medicine. They also examine historical ideas around resonance and healing, how interdisciplinary research is pushing ultrasound forward, and what these innovations could mean for the future of patient care and medical treatment.
This episode blends physics, medicine, and forward-looking science to reveal how sound is reshaping healthcare — from imaging to intervention.
