Abstract Objective Nasal-to-brain (NtoB) delivery is a noninvasive approach that uses the nasal cavity as a pathway to transport therapeutic agents directly to the brain. This approach bypasses systemic circulation…
Abstract Objective To develop and validate an automated deep learning-based model for focal liver lesion (FLL) segmentation in a dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) video. Methods In this multi-center and retrospective…
Abstract Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a painful orthopedic malformation diagnosed at birth in 1–3% of all newborns. Left untreated, DDH can lead to significant morbidity including long-term…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical effects of carotid shear wave elastography (SWE) in vivo as its effects on the arterial wall have not…
Abstract Objective To determine the CEUS parameters that predict the likelihood of postoperative EAD. Methods Clinical and imaging data for 75 pairs of donors and recipients collected between September 2022…
Abstract Objective Blood flow quantification using high frame-rate (HFR), contrast-enhanced ultrasound followed by particle image velocimetry (PIV), termed echoPIV, allows the study of blood flow phenomena in diseased arteries before…
Abstract Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a novel non-invasive treatment method that combines low-intensity ultrasound and sonosensitizers. Compared with photodynamic therapy, SDT has the advantages of deeper tissue penetration, higher accuracy…
Abstract Objective Scoliosis, a 3-D spinal deformity, requires early detection and intervention. Ultrasound curve angle (UCA) measurement using ultrasound images has emerged as a promising diagnostic tool. However, calculating the…
Abstract Objective Antibody-based therapy has emerged as a powerful tool for targeted treatment of neurological diseases, such as brain cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. However, direct, scalable, and safe confirmation of…
Abstract Super-resolution (SR) ultrasound imaging dramatically improves the resolution of microvascular images beyond the diffraction limit. It is well-established that ultrasound with contrast agents, such as those used in SR,…
