Ultrasound Breakthrough Could Have Major Impact on Diagnosis and Treatment of Diseases
Having precise and sensitive measurements of tissue stiffness is crucial in the medical field as it helps in detecting various diseases. A new technique now enables researchers to determine both Young's modulus (YM) and Poisson's ratio (PR) accurately without invasive procedures. More...14 Mar 2023

Ultrasound Catheter Offers New Treatment Option for Hypertension
Despite various interventions such as lifestyle modifications and medications to control blood pressure, approximately one-third of hypertensive patients are unable to regulate their blood pressure. Now, a device that employs ultrasound-based technology to calm overactive nerves in the kidneys could potentially aid certain individuals in controlling their blood pressure. More...10 Mar 2023

Microbubble Technology Could Help Surgeons Target Cancer Better Using Ultrasound
A new study has found that microbubble technology holds great potential in assisting surgeons to target cancer more precisely. This new technology could greatly minimize the need for invasive surgeries, significantly enhancing the quality of life for bowel cancer patients. More...08 Mar 2023
AR System Enables Free-Hand, Real-Time Needle Guidance for Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
Transperineal (TP) biopsy is one of the conventional methods used for diagnosing and treating prostate cancer. TP biopsy typically involves a pre-operation MRI scan and a transrectal ultrasound, with the images combined and displayed on a monitor for the urologist to visualize. However, 2D visualization of a 3D region can make the needle's guidance and visualization a challenging task. To address this issue, researchers have proposed an approach based on an augmented reality (AR) system called HoloLens. More...06 Mar 2023
Enhanced Ultrasound Superior to MRI for Diagnosing Certain Liver and Kidney Tumors
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a non-invasive imaging tool that is routinely used across the world to identify and characterize cancers, diagnose heart and vascular disease, monitor chronic gastro-intestinal diseases and therapy. Now, two new studies have revealed that CEUS is more accurate and reliable than MRI for examining certain liver and kidney nodules. More...27 Feb 2023

Breakthrough Wireless Handheld Ultrasound System Allows Clinicians to Diagnose Anytime, Anywhere
A new wireless handheld ultrasound system revolutionizes the use of ultrasound by fitting a complicated system into a small size device, while retaining its ability to meet higher clinical requirements. More...16 Feb 2023

Handheld MSK Ultrasound Scanner Uses AI to Automatically Identify and Measure Tendons in Foot, Ankle and Knee
An artificial intelligence (AI) application for musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging that works with handheld point-of-care ultrasound devices automatically identifies, highlights, and measures tendon structures in the foot, ankle, and knee, thus accelerating ultrasound mastery for new users and hastening diagnosis and treatment of MSK injuries.
