A high-energy form of ultrasound imaging produces pictures of liver tumors that are better than those made with traditional ultrasound, according to results of a clinical study. The study suggests ...

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has emerged as a pivotal imaging modality in the assessment of liver lesions, offering real-time, non‐invasive visualisation of tissue vascularity and perfusion ...

Histotripsy is a new, FDA-approved, minimally invasive technique that destroys liver tumors using high-frequency ultrasound waves. For some patients with liver cancer, they could be spared invasive ...

What Is a Liver Ultrasound? A liver ultrasound is a type of abdominal ultrasound, an imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create pictures of the organs and structures in your abdomen, ...

Focused ultrasound can effectively destroy tumor cells. Until now, this method has only been used for organs such as the prostate and uterus. A new project enables focused ultrasound treatment of the ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- A high-energy form of ultrasound imaging developed by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering produces pictures of liver tumors that are better than those made ...

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is more accurate and reliable than MRI for examining certain liver and kidney nodules, according to two new studies published in the ...

Doctors have a new emerging weapon in the fight against cancerous tumors: ultrasound. After a five-year study by the ...

Researchers evaluate tumor recurrence and metastases after using a non-invasive ultrasound treatment, called histotripsy, on liver cancer in rats. Histotripsy is the first non-ionizing and non-thermal ...

For the first time, the FDA has given the green light to histotripsy technology, which uses focused ultrasound waves to noninvasively destroy a designated tissue or tumor. The de novo clearance went ...

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tiny microbubbles used as ultrasound contrast agents can help patients with liver or kidney masses avoid follow up computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) scans ...
