Ultrasound Non-Invasively Prevents or Reverses Onset of Diabetes in Studies
A research team has demonstrated the ability to prevent or reverse the onset of diabetes by using ultrasound to non-invasively stimulate specific neurometabolic pathways in the body in three different preclinical models. The findings represent a significant milestone in the field of bioelectronic medicine, which is exploring new ways to treat chronic diseases such as diabetes using electronic devices to modulate the body’s nervous system.

AI Algorithm Reads Ultrasound Images from Hand-Held Devices and Smartphone
Northwestern University (Evanston, IL, USA) and Google Health (Menlo Park, CA, USA) are collaborating on a project to bring fetal ultrasound to developing countries by combining AI, low-cost hand-held ultrasound devices and a smartphone. The project will develop algorithms enabling AI to read ultrasound images from these devices taken by lightly trained community health workers and even pregnant people at home, with the aim of assessing the wellness of both the birthing parent and baby.

Device Enables Non-Invasive and Safe Ultrasound Brain Treatments
Current approaches in ultrasound-based therapies for the brain are focusing ultrasound waves to reach their specific target in the brain. But this has proven difficult, as ultrasound tends to bounce around within the skull, which leads to some areas of the brain being over-exposed while others are not exposed enough. Now, a team of engineers has developed a device that is a first step to enabling noninvasive, ultrasound-based therapies for the brain. More...29 Mar 2022
Focused Ultrasound Bursts Offer Alternative for Noninvasive Treatment of Kidney Stones
Small kidney stones can be treated using a technique called extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), using shock waves to break up the stones so that they will be more likely to pass on their own. However, an innovative technique called burst wave lithotripsy (BWL) may provide an effective, more accessible alternative for noninvasive treatment of kidney stones, according to initial human studies.

Novel Heart Ultrasound Measures Can Predict Risk of Developing Dementia
In a study to assess if there is a link between heart health and dementia, researchers have been able to identify novel measures that are linked to a higher dementia risk by using echocardiography - visual ultrasound of the heart. More...25 Mar 2022
Ultrasound Can Effectively Predict Ovarian Cancer and Prevent Unnecessary Surgery
In a new study, researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center (Rochester, NY, USA) assessed a method that uses ultrasound images to classify adnexal lesions into one of two categories: classic or non-classic. The study's findings confirm that the appearance of ovarian lesions on ultrasound is an effective predictor of cancer risk that can help women avoid unnecessary surgery. More...24 Mar 2022
AI-Guided Handheld Surgical Robot Can Stem Fatal Blood Loss
A team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA) and physicians at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH, Boston, MA, USA) have developed a handheld platform technology that has the potential to help personnel with simple training to quickly install a catheter into a common femoral vessel, enabling rapid treatment at the point of injury.
