Comment/Description

1. The photoacoustic effect from its discovery by Alexander Bell (1880) and early research by Tyndall and Röntgen to the present.
2. Auditory effects in humans from pulsed microwave exposure: a mystery and its resolution. Thresholds of
perception in humans and animals.
3. The common physical mechanism behind photoacoustic and microwave acoustic effects, and a general theory.
4. Dosimetry and microwave absorption.
5. Thermoelastic pressure waves in canonical head models.
6. Computer simulations of pressure waves in anatomic models.
7. Microwave thermoacoustic tomography and imaging.
8. Other applied, health and social aspects and implications.
