To understand the uses and limitations of ultrasound in the evaluation of breast disease, one must have a basic understanding of the physics and principles of ultrasound as well as the instrumentation ...

In breast cancer, a biopsy is the only diagnostic procedure that can determine if a suspicious lump or area is cancerous. However, in the U.S., between 75% and 80% of breast biopsies are benign.

The researchers combined two imaging methods, rotational ultrasound tomography (RUST) and photoacoustic tomography (PAT), to create a hybrid modality christened RUS-PAT. Ultrasonography provides a ...

Steatotic liver disease (commonly called fatty liver disease) progresses silently. Even in the absence of noticeable symptoms ...

In a proof-of-concept study, researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC and the California Institute of Technology ...

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 ...

Photoacoustic imaging is an imaging modality related to ultrasound imaging. A light source is inserted into a hollow-core needle and used to illuminate the patient's tissues. The tissue expands, ...

A wearable ultrasound device attached using a durable, adhesive, stretchy material enables continuous medical imaging of internal organs and tissues for patients on the go, researchers report. They ...

Traditionally, a periodontal probe has been used to assess pocket depth. But can another measurement method offer more consistent results? Researchers reported that photoacoustic imaging might offer ...
