New results from a clinical trial testing a novel ultrasound therapy for hypertension show the experimental treatment can deliver clinically meaningful reductions in blood pressure. The treatment is ...

An estimated 26 million Americans have chronic kidney disease. A simple, painless and non-invasive test can prevent kidney failure in those patients. With ultrasound, a handheld transducer sends ...

The revolutionary world of medical imaging continues to transform how healthcare professionals protect our most vital organs, and kidney ultrasounds stand at the forefront of this incredible ...

kidney cross section The role of renal denervation in hypertension treatment still needs to be determined. Ultrasound renal denervation lowers systolic blood pressure in patients with mild to moderate ...

Brief pulses of ultrasound delivered to nerves near the kidney produced a clinically meaningful drop in blood pressure in people whose hypertension did not respond to a triple cocktail of medications, ...

The Break Wave system for extracorporeal lithotripsy via ultrasound showed early efficacy with minimal anesthesia in a pilot trial. In a separate trial, ultrasonic propulsion repositioned and ...

BOSTON, MA—Ultrasound-based renal denervation with the Paradise system (ReCor Medical) significantly reduces blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled hypertension who are not on antihypertensive ...

A noninvasive ultrasound technique is capable of quickly pulverizing kidney stones, an early study shows -- in what researchers call a first step toward a simpler, anesthesia-free treatment for the ...

A new ultrasound treatment for kidney stones might provide pain-free relief while the patient is awake, researchers say. Kidney stones are often excruciatingly painful. In most cases, patients are ...

Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is superior to contrast magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT), and offers 100% sensitivity and specificity, for finding residual or recurrent kidney ...
