The 'ultrasound-photoacoustic dual-modal imaging system' combines molecular imaging contrast with ultrasound imaging, and it can visualize molecular and structural information inside the body in real ...

When visiting the dentist, you might remember being poked and prodded by a thin metal instrument to check your teeth and gums. This technique, called periodontal probing, is used to look for signs of ...

MIT researchers have developed a miniaturized ultrasound system that could improve screening accessibility and detect breast ...

GE HealthCare has launched its next-generation of LOGIQ ultrasound systems, designed to enhance clinical imaging and expedite ...

Imagine a device that’s the size of a bandaid, costs under $100, and can see inside the human body. Pretty impressive, considering current similar technology is often bulky and expensive. Now, ...

Infineon Technologies AG has claimed the first integrated one-chip solution for a MEMS-based ultrasonic transducer in a smaller footprint with improved performance and higher functionality. The MEMS ...

Piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers play a critical role in modern sensing and actuation by converting electrical signals into high‐frequency mechanical vibrations and vice versa. Recent advances ...

Before humans discovered ultrasound for a variety of medical, technical and military applications, nature had perfected it over millions of years for navigation under and above water. Dolphins and ...

When it comes to dental checkups, no one likes having their gums poked with the periodontal probe. Well, they may soon no longer have to, thanks to a gum-assessing toothbrush-shaped mini ultrasound ...

Deep brain stimulation, by implanted electrodes that deliver electrical pulses to the brain, is often used to treat Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders. However, the electrodes used ...

To measure wind speed and direction, most people turn the traditional cup anemometer and wind vane. Another less-known method is to use an array of ultrasonic transducers, which doesn’t need any ...
