The process is very similar to ultrasound imaging. However, the sound waves used are within normal hearing range, and they are used to identify objects rather than internal structures. This ...

Any sound above 20 000 Hz is called ultrasound. It is too high pitched for humans to hear, but other animals (such as dogs, cats, dolphins and bats) can hear ultrasound. Ultrasound waves are ...

As the technology advances, it gets cheaper, more portable, and more powerful. Since it uses sound waves, an ultrasound doesn’t put the patient at risk for radiation. Despite its usefulness, ...

Under the direction of Jianyu Li, a professor of mechanical engineering, the McGill research team has created an alternate technique that makes use of ultrasound. Sound waves produce tiny bubbles ...

AI is transforming ultrasound imaging by enhancing diagnostic accuracy and workflow efficiency. The AI in ultrasound market, driven by deep learning, is set for robust growth, with key applications in ...

The ultrasound waves cause the cancer cells to vibrate and bubble, destroying them, while leaving the health cells around them unharmed. The sound waves are so targeted, they can be used in ...

Low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound amygdala neuromodulation: a double-blind sham-controlled target engagement study and unblinded single-arm clinical trial. Molecular Psychiatry . doi ...

Microplastics naturally scatter in flowing water (left), but after turning on sound waves, the particles concentrate along the tube’s sides (right), making them easier to remove. Disclaimer ...

UChicago Medicine is using a new technology to destroy liver tumors without radiation, chemotherapy or even cutting the skin. Called histotripsy, it destroys tumors using sound waves. Amber Sikes ...
