Ultrasound Applications in Critical Care Medicine
The use of ultrasound has expanded enormously over the last two decades in critical care research and practice. Despite the fact that the method has several inherent limitations and is largely operator dependent, it enables clinicians for rapid, by-the-bed, and relatively inexpensive diagnostic evaluation of unstable patients. Point-of-care ultrasound applications such as lung ultrasound are gr...
متن کاملRadiation physics and applications in therapeutic medicine
Radiation therapy is an example of the successful application of advanced physics to the treatment of human disease leading to improved quality of life and even cure for many patients. The German physicist William Roentgen (1845–1923), who discovered x-rays in 1895 and pioneered early x-ray applications, would likely be astonished if he could see the breadth and depth of their application in th...
متن کاملNanoparticles in medicine: therapeutic applications and developments.
Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter generally in the 1-100 nm dimension range. The application of nanotechnology to medicine, known as nanomedicine, concerns the use of precisely engineered materials at this length scale to develop novel therapeutic and diagnostic modalities. Nanomaterials have unique physicochemical properties, such as ultra small size, large surface area...
متن کاملEndoscopic Ultrasound: New Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications
5 American Heart Association Updates CPR Guidelines A Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was originally developed to detect pancreatic tumors in the earliest, most treatable stages. Today, EUS remains the primary method for evaluating and staging pancreatic cancer and has emerged as a valuable tool for assessing people at high risk for the disease. In the past few years, however, the role of EUS has e...
متن کاملApplications of high-frequency ultrasound microscopy in medicine and biology
In this chapter, the applications of high-frequency ultrasound microscopy are reviewed. Several popular types of acoustic microscopy are included, such as scanning acoustic microscopy, ultrasound backscatter microscopy, atomic force acoustic microscopy, and resonance ultrasound microscopy. The working principle and system diagram (both hardware and signal processing) are introduced first. Curre...
