The 'ultrasound-photoacoustic dual-modal imaging system' combines molecular imaging contrast with ultrasound imaging, and it can visualize molecular and structural information inside the body in real ...

Verasonics Updates Licensing Permissions to Provide Researchers with Improved Flexibility for Sharing of Programming Scripts Developed with the Vantage System KIRKLAND, Wash.--(BUSINESS ...

A team develops an ultrasensitive broadband transparent ultrasound transducer. The 'ultrasound-photoacoustic dual-modal imaging system' combines molecular imaging contrast with ultrasound imaging, and ...

Laparoscopic surgery, a less invasive alternative to conventional open surgery, involves inserting thin tubes with a tiny camera and surgical instruments into the abdomen. To visualize specific ...

Scientists develop a high-performance photoacoustic endoscopy featuring a transparent ultrasound transducer. Recently, a research team consisting of Professor Chulhong Kim from the Department of ...

Medical imaging-based triage is a critical tool for emergency medicine in both civilian and military settings. Ultrasound imaging can be used to rapidly identify free fluid in abdominal and thoracic ...

The notion of a phased array was initially articulated by Nobel Prize recipient K. F. Braun. Phased arrays have subsequently evolved into a formidable mechanism for wave manipulation. This assertion ...

Green fluorescent protein and its analogs allow biologists to visualize gene expression and other cellular processes under an optical microscope 1. However, the scattering of light by tissue limits ...

Ultrasonic levitation is by now a familiar trick: one or more ultrasonic transducers create a standing wave, and small objects can be held in the nodes of this standing wave. With a sufficiently large ...

When visiting the dentist, you might remember being poked and prodded by a thin metal instrument to check your teeth and gums. This technique, called periodontal probing, is used to look for signs of ...
