The proceedings offer a comprehensive view of the state-of-the-art of Therapeutic Ultrasound from the basic science to device technology to clinical practice. Papers describing new therapies of cancer and other tissue abnormalities using innovative device concepts are included. In particular, advanced transducer technologies for noninvasive or minimally invasive delivery of therapeutic ultrasound under image guidance are described by a significant number of papers within the proceedings. The proceedings also include papers on the use of ultrasound in enhancing drug delivery with and without the use of ultrasound contrast agents. In addition, standards and quality assurance issues are addressed by a number of papers. Finally, clinical and pre-clinical in vivo studies are also described.

The annual International Symposium on Therapeutic Ultrasound is the main focus of the activities of the International Society for Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU). ISTU's goal is to increase and diffuse knowledge of therapeutic ultrasound to the scientific and medical community, and to facilitate the translation of therapeutic ultrasound techniques into the clinical arena for the benefit of patients worldwide. The Proceedings distill the best presentations of the symposia and provide a reference for new and experienced workers in the field.

These symposium proceedings address exciting aspects of the interaction of very high intensity laser pulses with plasmas in a special strong field regime where electron motion is highly relativistic. The interdisciplinary subject matter includes the basic physics of notable laser-driven conversion processes and some important applications of these processes. Important conversion processes dealt with here that are associated with these laser-plasma interactions are the acceleration of ions and electrons by laser pulses and the laser generation of intense harmonic radiation, as well as other intense xuv and x-ray radiation. Noteworthy medical applications include the potential use of laser-driven ion beams for ion therapy for cancer and the development of x-ray phase contrast imaging. The diagnostic use of proton beams in experiments and of ions for ion imaging represent interesting nonmedical applications that are described.
