After X-radiography, ultrasound is now the most common of all the medical imaging
technologies. For millennia, manual palpation has been used to assist in diagnosis, but it is …

From times immemorial manual palpation served as a source of information on the state of
soft tissues and allowed detection of various diseases accompanied by changes in tissue …

Focused ultrasound has been shown to stimulate excitable cells, but the biophysical
mechanisms behind this phenomenon remain poorly understood. To provide additional …

The understanding of brain function and the capacity to treat neurological and psychiatric
disorders rest on the ability to intervene in neuronal activity in specific brain circuits. Current …

The development of ultrasound-based elasticity imaging methods has been the focus of
intense research activity since the mid-1990s. In characterizing the mechanical properties of …

This paper presents an initial clinical evaluation of in vivo elastography for breast lesion
imaging using the concept of supersonic shear imaging. This technique is based on the …

A new ultrasound-based technique is proposed to assess the arterial stiffness: the radiation
force of an ultrasonic beam focused on the arterial wall induces a transient shear wave (∼ …

Conventional diagnostic ultrasound images portray differences in the acoustic properties of
soft tissues, whereas ultrasound-based elasticity images portray differences in the elastic …

Radiation force is a universal phenomenon in any wave motion, electromagnetic or acoustic.
Although acoustic and electromagnetic waves are both characterized by time variation of …

During the past decade, ultrasound has expanded medical imaging well beyond the
“traditional” radiology setting: a combination of portability, low cost, and ease of use makes …
