Background
EchoSure is an automated point-of-care 3D ultrasound (3DUS) designed to be used by dialysis technicians without advanced ultrasound training. The EchoMark/EchoSure System is a two-part system comprised of a bioresorbable implant, EchoMark, and a diagnostic ultrasound imaging platform, EchoSure. EchoSure was designed to enable any healthc...
The use of ultrasound techniques in animal reproduction is becoming more significant since they provide a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. Moreover, understanding how ultrasound technology is used is therefore essential in modern animal sciences, as ultrasound tests are now a part of diagnostic procedures in reproduction. The new knowledge produced...
Relevance. The use of ultrasound diagnostics at the place of providing medical care to an urgent patient is one of the promising directions in the development of emergency medicine. At the same time, of particular interest is the possibility of using diagnostic ultrasound in an ambulance helicopter, given the lack of clear algorithms and standards...
An introduction to the physics and technological principles of diagnostic ultrasound is presented, including (1) a discussion of ultrasound-tissue interactions; (2) the pulse-echo technique; (3) transducers and ultrasound machine instrumentation for the detection and signal processing of echoes and image formation; (4) Doppler ultrasound; (5) B-mod...
Ultrasound is among the most rapidly advancing imaging techniques. Functional methods such as elastography have been clinically introduced, and tissue characterization is improved by contrast-enhanced scans. Here, novel super-resolution techniques provide unique morphological and functional insights into tissue vascularisation. Functional analyses...
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) in sonographers have increased over the past 20 years with shoulder injuries being the most prevalent. Advancing ultrasound technologies have reduced a sonographer's need to move when performing exams and increased prolonged arm abduction, resulting in static work postures and decreased joint perfusion...
Diagnostic ultrasound is an emerging imaging technology which is widely used in both industrialized as well as developing countries.Ultrasound has found widespread application in anatomical imaging, blood-flow measurement, and evaluation of physiology in almost all aspects of medicine.DISCLAIMERThis discussion is based on my personal experience aft...
An important reason for the high popularity of diagnostic ultrasound is its lack of hazardous side effects. However, as described below, the probability of inducing undesirable thermal and mechanical effects in tissue increases with a rise in the output of diagnostic ultrasound machines.
The use of increasing negative peak pressures of the applied...
Ziel: Einer der wohl wichtigsten Gründe für die Beliebtheit und die weite Verbreitung des diagnostischen Ultraschalls ist seine Freiheit von Nebenwirkungen. Mit zunehmender Ausgangsleistung diagnostischer Ultraschallgeräte steigt allerdings, wie im Folgenden beschrieben, die Wahrscheinlichkeit, unerwünschte thermische und mechanische Gewebeeffekte...
