Ultrasound

Image:  A new type of medical imaging technology could diagnose cardiovascular disease by measuring ultrasound signals from molecules exposed to a fast-pulsing laser. The system, called intravascular photoacoustic imaging, takes precise three-dimensional images of plaques lining arteries and identifies deposits that are likely to rupture and cause heart attacks. This cross-sectional view of an artery shows lipids (green) deposited inside the arterial wall. Black and white indicate contrast showing the cross-sectional geometry (Photo courtesy of Purdue University).

Image: Using ultrasound technology to visualize the tongue’s shape and movement can help children with difficulty pronouncing “r” sounds, according to research led by NYU Steinhardt assistant professor Tara McAllister Byun (Photo courtesy of Ramsay de Give/NYU Steinhardt).

Ultrasound Used to Help Children with Speech Problems

Ultrasound technology is being used to visualize the tongue’s shape and movement, and can help children with difficulty pronouncing “r” sounds, according to a small study. The ultrasound intervention was effective when children were allowed to make different shapes with their tongue in order to produce the “r” sound, instead of being instructed to make a specific shape.  More...
