Abstract Objective Although FibroScan (FS), based on Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE), is a widely used non-invasive device for assessing liver fibrosis and steatosis, its current standard-VCTE examination remains timely and…
Abstract Objective Advanced imaging methods are crucial for understanding stroke mechanisms and discovering effective treatments to reduce bleeding and enhance recovery. In pre-clinical in vivo stroke imaging, MRI, CT and…
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to validate the ultrasound speckle tracking (UST) algorithm, determine the optimal probe location by comparing normalized cross-correlation (NCC) values of muscle displacement at two locations…
Abstract Background Skeletal muscle echo intensity (EI) is associated with functional outcomes in older adults, but resistance training interventions have shown mixed results. Texture analysis has been proposed as a…
Abstract Ultrasound (US) images have the advantages of no radiation, high penetration, and real-time imaging, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) has the advantage of high resolution. The purpose of fusing…
Abstract Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque is a type of plaque that poses a significant risk of high mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. Ultrasound has long been used for carotid atherosclerosis…
Abstract Objective Histotripsy is a non-invasive acoustic ablation technique that leverages cavitation to impart mechanical damage to a viscoelastic medium, such as tissue. Although histotripsy bubbles and lesions can be…
Abstract Objective Microcirculatory heterogeneity plays an essential role in the initiation and progression of glioblastoma (GBM). This study employs super-resolution ultrasound imaging to visualize the microcirculatory heterogeneity in GBM, with…
Abstract Objective Ultrasound bone maturity indexes were used to assess whether children had reached their final height. Methods The follow-up study was performed between January 2022 and August 2024. Ultrasound…
Abstract Objective Alternative medical imaging techniques are necessary to address the limitations of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Therefore, this study aimed to develop an ultrasonographic method that integrates anterior and…
