Prospects and challenges of US and CEUS
Ultrasound is already a major technique to study focal liver lesions. Particularly since the arrival of the ultrasound contrast agents which allows a sensitivity greater than 90% for characterizing incidentally detected focal liver lesions in adults in whom an unenhanced ultrasound scan is inconclusive or with inconclusive MRI/ CT. However the role of ultrasound will probably rise even more in ...
متن کامل2D-3D Fusion Imaging (US & CT/MR): Interventional US Applied to Liver RF ablation
Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is most commonly performed under ultrasound (U/S) guidance, with computed tomography (CT) guidance being reserved for lesions inconspicuous on US. However, there are occasions when the liver lesion is only optimally visualized on contrast-enhanced CT, making targeting and monitoring difficult due to lack of real-time imaging guidance. In this scenario, it would be d...
متن کاملIMSI, Useful, Useless or Harmful?
Since the birth of the first test-tube baby in 1978, Assisted Reproduction Techniques (ART) has been performed all over the world to alleviate human infertility. In 1991 with the advent of the Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) technique, a reasonable rate of male infertility cases due to severe oligospermia were successfully solved. However, several concerns about the safety and impact o...
متن کاملWhen Power Adaptation is Useless or Harmful
We consider the design of optimal strategies for joint power adaptation, rate adaptation and scheduling in a multi-hop wireless network. Most existing strategies for ad-hoc networks control either power and scheduling, or rates and scheduling, but not the three together as we do. We assume the underlying physical layer allows finegrained rate adaptation (like in 802.11a/g, HDR/CDMA, UWB). Our g...
متن کاملAn Open Environment CT-US Fusion for Tissue Segmentation during Interventional Guidance
Therapeutic ultrasound (US) can be noninvasively focused to activate drugs, ablate tumors and deliver drugs beyond the blood brain barrier. However, well-controlled guidance of US therapy requires fusion with a navigational modality, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or X-ray computed tomography (CT). Here, we developed and validated tissue characterization using a fusion between US and ...
