Abstract: High-frequency ultrasound (HFUS; >30 MHz) Doppler imaging has been widely used in the imaging of small animals and humans because of its high resolution. Vector Doppler imaging (VDI) has ...

A research team at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a new noninvasive brain stimulation technique, by showing how focused ultrasound affects the human brain. Using brainwave recordings from ...

A new study by researchers at the SETI Institute suggests that stellar "space weather" could make radio signals from extraterrestrial intelligence harder to detect. Stellar activity and plasma ...

Toria Sheffield joined the PEOPLE editorial staff in 2024. Her work as a writer/editor has previously appeared in places like Bustle, LAMag, and HelloGiggles. Getty A woman was getting her final ...

A project at USC Keck School of Medicine and Caltech has developed an imaging platform offering improved views of both blood vessels and tissue. Described in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the new ...

Conventional ultrasound (cUS) and functional ultrasound (fUS) both utilize megahertz-level sound waves to image inside the body; however, beyond this, the similarities end. This article aims to ...

Carrie Madormo, RN, MPH, is a health writer. She has over a decade of experience as a registered nurse, practicing in a variety of fields, such as pediatrics, oncology, chronic pain, and public health ...

Patients who received a focused ultrasound treatment to aid drug delivery increased their odds of surviving the deadliest form of brain cancer by nearly 40%, according to a study led by University of ...

Focused ultrasound with microbubbles is a noninvasive procedure that transiently opens the blood-brain barrier (BBB) using low-intensity sound waves. The openings reseal within 24 hours. Using MRI to ...

Using ultrasound, MIT has created a powerful technique to extract and transform moisture in the air into clean water. MIT engineers designed an ultrasonic system to “shake” water out of an atmospheric ...

Neurosurgeons at Oregon Health & Science University examine real-time magnetic resonance imaging during a case involving the use of high-frequency focused ultrasound. Oregon Health & Science ...
