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 Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have gained significant attention in biomedical engineering and imaging applications due to their unique magnetic and mechanical properties. With their high magnetization and small size, MNPs…
ABSTRACT Objective Non-invasive surgical approaches, including boiling histotripsy (BH), are currently being developed for the treatment of brain disorders aiming to avoid craniotomy and exposure of intervening tissues, and, thus,…
ABSTRACT Objective The rupture of vulnerable plaques in the carotid artery is a leading cause of strokes. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the standard for quantifying plaque composition, its…
Abstract Objective Subharmonic Aided Pressure Estimation (SHAPE) is a noninvasive technique for estimating organ-level blood pressure using the strong correlation between the subharmonic signal and ambient pressure. The compressible gas…
ABSTRACT Objective Acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV) is the liquid-to-gas phase transition of perfluorocarbon (PFC) droplets to microbubbles upon ultrasound insonation. After ADV, gases dissolved in the surrounding fluid diffuse into…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to investigate dyssynchronous heart failure in fetuses of mothers with diabetes mellitus (FDM) and fetal controls (FC) using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) and novel…
Abstract Objective Deep learning approaches such as DeepACSA enable automated segmentation of muscle ultrasound cross-sectional area (CSA). Although they provide fast and accurate results, most are developed using data from…
Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the swallow-related muscles and bones movement patterns during swallowing quantitatively by B+M-mode ultrasound, and to investigate its application…
