Why does thermal ultrasound create hot spots when applied over bony prominences?
What will be an ideal response?
Bone has a very high level of thermal conductivity so heat will stay concentrated at its surface. A lack of overlying adipose tissue (low thermal conductivity) that normally acts as a thermal insulator further contributes to the concentration of heat on the bone's surface.
