    I too would like an answer to the question put by  Bruce Holmgrain. 
    who said

    Ultrasounds are used in many medical instances. I've done many
    ultrasound treatments myself on Physio patients in previous jobs as
    physiotherapist's assistant and receptionist. Many women undergo
    ultrasound scans during pregnancy etc etc. 

    Having both done the physio ultrasounds on myself and stuck my
    fingers in the jewellery cleaning ultrasound (great way to clean the
    fingers) I can say they feel much the same. Now I would imagine that
    different frequencies would be used for different purposes and would
    be interested to hear if someone does have more technical info on
    this subject. 

Cheers, Renate
