Assessment of track microbubble flow signals on contrast-enhanced ultrasound with perflubutane following percutaneous liver biopsy.
OBJECTIVE It is important to detect post-liver biopsy hemorrhage early and confirm hemostasis in the clinical setting. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a sensitive and highly specific tool for detecting active bleeding. The aim of this study was to investigate the rate of detection of track microbubble flow signals on CEUS with perflubutane following liver biopsy and to assess the disappe...
متن کاملDetection of Microbubble Ultrasound Contrast Agent Destruction Applied to Definity
For different applications such as imaging, drug delivery and tissue perfusion measurement, it is necessary to know the inertial cavitation (IC) threshold of ultrasonic contrast agent (UCA) microbubbles. The IC threshold for Definity R © was determined using a passive cavitation detection (PCD) system. The IC threshold criterion was rebound. The incident ultrasonic field at a constant pulse rep...
متن کاملFocal Hepatic Lesions: Contrast-Enhancement Patterns at Pulse-Inversion Harmonic US using a Microbubble Contrast Agent
OBJECTIVE To analyze the contrast-enhancement patterns obtained at pulse-inversion harmonic imaging (PIHI) of focal hepatic lesions, and to thus determine tumor vascularity and the acoustic emission effect. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed pulse-inversion images in 90 consecutive patients with focal hepatic lesions, namely hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (n=43), metastases (n=30), and hemangi...
متن کاملThree-dimensional magnetic cloak working from d.c. to 250 kHz
Invisible cloaking is one of the major outcomes of the metamaterial research, but the practical potential, in particular for high frequencies (for example, microwave to visible light), is fatally challenged by the complex material properties they usually demand. On the other hand, it will be advantageous and also technologically instrumental to design cloaking devices for applications at low fr...
متن کاملBrain temperature during 340-kHz pulsed ultrasound insonation: a safety study for sonothrombolysis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Because ultrasound is used for improving thrombolysis of cerebral infarction but continuous ultrasound insonation also has significant thermal effects, we evaluated brain temperature increase and tissue destruction during pulsed ultrasound emission. METHODS We examined 340-kHz pulsed ultrasound effects in male Wistar rats. Ultrasound was applied transcranially for 30 mi...
