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 ...

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

A device that can perform 3D ultrasound imaging with just one large piezoelectric ultrasound transmitter and receiver has been developed by researchers in the Netherlands. Most ultrasound imagers use ...

Picture this: a painless, radiation-free scan that can look inside your body in real time. From monitoring pregnancies to detecting heart problems, ultrasound radiology quietly powers millions of ...

Ultrasound is commonly used in diagnostic imaging of the body's soft tissues, including muscles, joints, tendons and internal organs. A technology called high-intensity focused ultrasound is also ...

Using a technique that has possible applications in acoustic cloaking, sonic levitation, ultrasonic imaging, and particle manipulation, scientists at the University of California Berkeley claim to ...

Researchers have developed a technique for generating acoustic bottles in open air that can bend the paths of sound waves along prescribed convex trajectories. These self-bending bottle beams hold ...

The use of sound waves for non-invasively visualizing a fetus in the womb, via ultrasound imaging, is widely recognized. By emitting high-frequency sound waves into the body and converting their echo ...

Myocardial contrast echocardiography utilizes intravenously injected gas-filled microspheres as acoustically active red blood cell tracers. During ultrasound imaging, unimpeded microsphere transit ...

An international team of physicists has simultaneously measured the angular momentum and torque exerted by acoustic waves for the first time. It found that this ratio agrees exactly with the predicted ...
