Physics in Medicine and Economy of Contemporary Society

Abstract

This paper describes the main methods of separating blood into components. The most common methods used in medicinal practice include centrifugation and filtration. Currently, there has been a lot of research on the application of ultrasound as the new, innovative method of separation of blood components. Ultrasound use is a theoretically elaborated method and experimental research is in process with the aim of its implementation in medical diagnostics. Contemporary societies are aware of the importance of findings of physics as well as of the fact that our everyday life is strongly connected to physics and to technical devices that have been created on the basis of its fundamental laws.
