Why it matters: Ultrasound is widely used in musculoskeletal, vascular, and organ imaging, but image quality and interpretation heavily rely on the operator’s knowledge. What’s new: Researchers have ...

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 ...

A new way of creating specially shaped pulses of ultrasound using light and a 3D printer has been unveiled by Michael Brown and colleagues at University College London. The pulses, which are creating ...

Researchers say the ultrasound frequencies used are similar to those employed in diagnostic medical imaging and do not ...

Piezoelectric nanoparticles deployed inside immune cells and stimulated remotely by ultrasound can trigger the body's disease-fighting response, according to an interdisciplinary team of Boston ...
