Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) is an uncommon malignancy characterized by the co-existence of two or more cellular types, commonly a mixture of epithelial and mesenchymal components. A case of a female patient aged 46 years with MBC (carcinosarcoma) is presented, including mammographic, ultrasonic, gross examination, and pathological findings. After undergoing modified radical mastectomy of...

This report describes a monitoring technique for high-intensity focused ultrasound (US), or HIFU, lesions, including protein-denaturing lesions (PDLs) and those made for noninvasive cardiac therapy and tumor treatment in the eye, liver and other organs. Designed to sense the increased stiffness of a HIFU lesion, this technique uniquely utilizes the radiation force of the therapeutic US beam as ...

Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) have been subject to extensive research for the last two decades. Although they were initially developed for air-coupled applications, today their main application space is medical imaging and therapy. This paper first presents a brief description of CMUTs, their basic structure, and operating principles. Our progression of developing seve...

ompetent performance of an ultrasound examination of any type is reliant on an understanding of the basic physical principles that govern the production of ultrasound waves and their interaction with biological tissues of differing densities and consistencies. It is also necessary to understand the basic concepts of how the ultrasound systems work and the concepts underlying their manipulation ...

The main tendency of the modern surgery is the reduction of operational injuries and the refusal of unreasonable operations that allows to reduce the frequency of intra and postoperative complications, which are very difficult sometimes. Today, the possibility of highly informative methods of visual diagnostics (highdefinition ultrasound, computed tomography with bolus contrast enhancement, mag...

A study was conducted to characterize the aerosols produced by a medical ultrasonic nebulizer using solutions containing antimicrobials appropriate for therapy of equine lower respiratory bacterial infections (gentamicin sulfate and ceftiofur sodium). Test aerosols were generated using an ultrasonic nebulizer and were analyzed using a laser diffraction aerosol particle analyzer. The aerosol was...

OBJECTIVE: Lateral epicondylitis is one of the widely seen lesions of the arm characterized by pain localized over lateral epicondyle which is the insertion site of the wrist extensors, and extensor muscles of the forearm. It is easy to diagnose lateral epicondylitis but treatment involves some inherent drawbacks. Conservative management includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ultrasoun...
