The rapid diagnosis of invisible internal injury in an austere and hostile front-line operational environment remains a challenge for (Canadian Forces) medical and search and rescue personnel. The availability of a portable 4D-ultrasound imaging system with a single probe, providing high image resolution and deep penetration, is considered by (civilian) medical practitioners and their military ...

Diagnostic ultrasound is a rapidly developing imaging technology widely used in both industrialized and developing countries. For certain diagnostic applications, ultrasound has replaced commonly used radiographic imaging techniques as the method of choice, and it has also made possible new areas of diagnostic investigation. Moreover, equipment for ultrasound imaging tends to be cheaper and mor...

the sensitivity and specificity of Ultrasound in diagnosing Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) pathology. MATERIALS AND METH ODS: This prospective study was conducted over a period of 8 months and included 110 patients. An ultrasound of the knee was performed before the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and a diagnosis regarding PCL appearance was made on the ultrasound. After the ultrasound an M...

Background: Diagnosis and management of pre-rupture stage of the pregnant horn are difficult and usually missed on a routine ultrasound scan. Furthermore, most cases are detected after rupture of pregnant horn. Case: We presented a 28-year-oldG2 L1 woman with diagnosis of RHP at 14 weeks of gestation. She was initially diagnosed with a normal intrauterine pregnancy, whereas a pregnancy in a rig...

Evaluations under way at Thomas Jefferson University are focusing on the use of gas-encapsulated microbubble contrast agents with nonlinear ultrasound imaging techniques to not only detect but also help characterize breast cancer noninvasively. Other recent studies have examined how microbubble contrast agents interact with ultrasound acoustic fields to demonstrate the effectiveness of contrast...
