In a recent article published in the journal Nature, a team of researchers described a wearable ultrasonic device that allows cardiac function to be assessed directly in real-time, with improved ...

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive technique for tumor ablation. During the actual HIFU treatment process, biological tissues absorb acoustic energy and convert it into thermal ...

In Avasarala's analysis of more than 700 patients, TAUS was the strongest independent predictor of a correct GCA diagnosis—outperforming the traditional temporal artery biopsy, which is invasive, time ...

Interpreting medical ultrasound images is a difficult task, requiring a technician to look at 2D images and mentally arrange them into a 3D representation of what the tissue looks like. To make that ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Ultrasound can provide detailed images of your heart, but the bulk makes it impractical for continuous scanning — especially outside of the ...

Optimizing pain relief Vasileios Christopoulos, assistant professor of bioengineering at UC Riverside, helped develop functional ultrasound imaging technology to image spinal cord activity. The ...

Needle-free vaccination concept Ultrasound pulses cause acoustic cavitation, generating energy bursts that forge a path for the vaccine through the skin. The approach may be particularly helpful for ...

Ultrasound can do a whole lot more than create images of unborn babies. Since it first became a near-indispensable medical tool in the 1930s, technology that produces sound waves so high-pitched that ...

Last year, nearly 100 million medical ultrasound scans were performed in the U.S. The popularity of medical ultrasound is due in large part to its wide availability, relatively inexpensive cost, and ...

Ultrasound - inaudible sound waves normally associated with cancer treatments and monitoring the unborn - may change the way we interact with our mobile devices. Couple that with a different kind of ...

Samsung Medison, a medical equipment unit of Samsung Electronics, has completed its acquisition of French AI-powered ultrasound startup Sonio in a deal worth 126.5bn Won (€86mn). Founded in 2020, ...
