Computed tomography enterography, magnetic resonance enterography, and bowel ultrasound are complementary tools central to diagnosing and monitoring Crohn disease. These modalities can identify active inflammation, penetrating, and stricturing disease. Crohn…
Abstract Objective This paper describes the relationship between elastic tissue properties and strain and presents an initial investigation of pulse-echo ultrasound to measure two uncorrelated elastic parameters in tissue-mimicking phantoms….
Abstract Objective To develop a treatment that enhances recovery from envenomation-induced lesions caused by Bothrops jararaca venom by using ultrasound in combination with gold nanoparticles (GNPs). Methods A total of…
Abstract Objective Fat embolism syndrome and cerebral fat emboli are rare yet serious conditions arising from systemic distribution of bone marrow emboli. Emboli are known to produce high-intensity transient signals…
Abstract Objective Periodontal diseases are a spectrum of inflammatory diseases that affect 45.9% of adults aged ≥30 years in the United States Current standard of care in clinics for the…
Abstract Objective Arterial stiffening serves as an early indicator for a variety of cardiovascular diseases. Arterial Dispersion Ultrasound Vibrometry (ADUV) is a method that leverages acoustic radiation force to stimulate…
Abstract Objective The rise in metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease prevalence, closely linked with metabolic syndromes and obesity, demands accurate, cost-effective diagnostic methods for early-stage fat quantification in the liver….
Abstract Objective There are over 9000 liver transplants in the United States per year, with acute cellular rejection (ACR) being a prevalent early post-transplant complication (20%–40%) treated using corticosteroids. Ischemia-reperfusion…
Abstract Objective Durable and stable phantoms for verifying and validating the new magnetomotive ultrasound technique are lacking. Here we propose a phantom design to address this need. Methods A mixture…
Abstract Objective Elastography images tissue mechanical responses and infers the underlying properties to aid diagnosis and treatment response monitoring. The estimation of absolute or relative tumor properties may vary with…
