Abstract Objective Accurately measuring intracardiac flow patterns could provide insights into cardiac disease pathophysiology, potentially enhancing diagnostic and prognostic capabilities. This study aims to validate Echo-Particle Image Velocimetry (echoPIV) for…
ABSTRACT Objective This work aimed to promote the interaction of a modified gas vesicle (GV) with cathepsin B (CTSB) protease and analysed their backscattered signal by ultrasound (US). Methods We…
Abstract Objective To explore the value of RF-data-based quantitative analysis on vessel stiffness (R-QVS) combined with dynamic vector flow imaging (VFI) in evaluating structural and functional changes in the carotid…
Abstract Objective Ultrasound in combination with microbubbles can enhance accumulation and improve the distribution of various therapeutic agents in tumor tissue, leading to improved efficacy. Understanding the impact of treatment…
Abstract Objective To explore the differences between SonoVue and Sonazoid contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in evaluating enhancement features of renal masses and determine the diagnostic value of CEUS in clear cell…
Abstract Background Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are an important cause of death. Small AAAs are surveyed with ultrasound (US) until a defined diameter threshold, often triggering a computer tomography scan…
Abstract Objective To investigate Sonazoid contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) features of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) based on liver backgrounds and tumor sizes. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with histopathologically…
Abstract Objective Ultrasound therapy effectively treats a joint range of motion limitation and pain originating from soft tissue in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Few interventional studies have focused on the infrapatellar…
Abstract Background Despite early treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) being well established to prevent erosive joint damage, studies report persistent moderate to high disease activity. Other pathologies, for example, rheumatoid…
