Skoltech researchers and their colleagues have synthesized and tested protein-polymer microbubbles for use in medical ultrasound imaging of internal organs. Administered intravenously, the ...
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ultrasound contrast agents show promise for detecting and evaluating uterine disorders and prostate cancers, scientists reported today at the annual Advances in Contrast ...
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Doctors are finding that contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is so effective in imaging kidney masses in patients with polycystic kidney disease that “they go right to CEUS ...
Trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is an important yet variably effective treatment for management of hepatic malignancies. Lack of response can be in part due to inability to assess treatment ...
Diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) enables visualization of fiber trajectories in soft tissue using magnetic resonance imaging. DTT exploits the anisotropic nature of water diffusion in fibrous ...
A research team at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) has investigated kidney diseases using ultrafast ultrasound that captures 1,000 images in just one second. The research team ...
One of the reasons cardiovascular disease kills 610,000 Americans each year is that it’s hard to see it coming before it’s too late. By the time someone is experiencing chest pain, irreversible damage ...
A new contrast agent could allow real-time monitoring of pH changes in the body using an ultrasound scanner (ACS Sens. 2020, DOI: 10.1021/acssensors.0c00245). This expansion of the use of ultrasound ...
Researchers have achieved a successful contrast agent-free imaging of complex structure of kidney vessels. Recently, high-speed video content capturing fleeting moments, such as bullets passing ...
Supplementary contrast imaging detected more breast cancers than automated whole-breast ultrasound in women with dense breasts. The invasive tumor size found by abbreviated MRI and contrast-enhanced ...
Intestinal ultrasound demonstrates strong agreement with MRI in assessing Crohn’s disease activity, supporting its use as a ...
