NO LINK BETWEEN ULTRASOUND AND RISK OF CHILDHOOD LEUKAEMIA Dr Estelle Naumburg and colleagues from Uppsala University and the Karolinska Institute say that previously there have been concerns over a possible association between exposure to ultrasound in utero and an increased risk of childhood malignancies. But they have not been substantiated, say the... view more (2000-01-25)
Ultrasound first, not CT, for diagnosing suspected acute appendicitis Color Doppler ultrasound, not CT, should be the first imaging examination for adult patients with suspected acute appendicitis, a new study emphasizes. view more (2008-05-08)
CT and ultrasound equally valuable in diagnosing pelvic pain in women CT and ultrasound are both valuable first-line cross-sectional imaging tools to detect the cause of acute pelvic pain in non-pregnant women and the need for surgery in these patients, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Washington Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, WA. view more (2006-05-01)
Ultrasound makes central venous catheterisation safer, quicker and easier Ultrasound-guided central venous catheterisation is easier, quicker and safer than the traditional method using landmarks, and should be the method of choice when treating critical care patients. view more (2006-11-17)
Concern over safety of commercial ultrasound scans Expectant parent' desire to see images of their unborn children has given rise to commercial companies offering keepsake ultrasound scans without medical supervision, often referred to as "boutique ultrasonography." view more (2007-02-06)
Ultrasound plus mammography finds more cancers, but increases false positives Adding ultrasound to mammography finds more cancers than mammography alone, but also substantially increases the number of false positives, according to first-year results from a three-year study of the two tests. view more (2007-10-01)
New medical ultrasound technology rides wave of the future A fully digital 4D ultrasound system is set to provide a 'next generation' integrated solution for medical imaging applications, allowing practitioners to provide faster treatment and improve therapeutic success rates. view more (2005-05-12)
Ultrasound used to predict heart attack risk Repeat exams using widely available and inexpensive ultrasound imaging could help identify patients at high risk for a heart attack or other adverse cardiovascular events, according to a study published in the September issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2008-08-19)
Patients with throat cancer should have endoscopic ultrasound examination Research News from British Journal of Surgery The surgery needed to remove throat tumours is severe and often involves drawing the stomach higher into the chest cavity. Before surgeons embark on this risky procedure they need to believe that the patient has a good chance of benefiting from the... view more (2003-12-18)
Ultrasound proves safe alternative to biopsy in some breast masses Researchers have reported that breast masses shown on ultrasound that are diagnosed as "probably benign" can be safely managed with imaging follow-up rather than biopsy, according to a study appearing in the July issue of Radiology. view more (2007-06-26)
Focusing ultrasound in the skull holds promise for brain tumour treatments A new, reliable way of focusing ultrasound waves inside the human skull that could enable tumours deep inside the brain to be eradicated is described in a research paper published today in the Institute of Physics journal Physics in Medicine and Biology. view more (2002-04-02)
University pioneers ultrasound qualification for healthcare professionals Patients to benefit from new ultrasound qualification developed by Sheffield Hallam University A new postgraduate qualification in ultrasound practice has been developed by Sheffield Hallam University to ensure health professionals offering scans are competent and safe to practice. The University... view more (2003-07-31)
Cardiac ultrasound imaging goes to handheld Cardiac ultrasound imaging, also known as echocardiography, has been recently challenged by several new imaging methods. view more (2008-09-02)
Backache beaten by good vibrations..? University of Manchester researchers are recruiting people with backache caused by nerve root pain-commonly known as sciatica-in the first ever study to discover if therapeutic ultrasound can help their condition. view more (2006-11-03)
3-D ultrasound scanner provides in-depth view of the brain Biomedical engineers at Duke's Pratt School of Engineering have adapted a three-dimensional ultrasound scanner that might guide minimally invasive brain surgeries and provide better detection of a brain tumor's location. view more (2007-06-21)
New acoustic absorber to improve physiotherapy ultrasound machines Physiotherapy ultrasound machines are commonplace in medicine and sports injury treatment but limitations with current calibration equipment mean they may be producing inaccurate doses that could lead to further injury. view more (2007-09-25)
Adding ultrasound screening to mammography brings benefits, risks Adding a screening ultrasound examination to routine mammography reveals more breast cancers than mammography alone, according to results of a major new clinical trial. The trial, however, also found that adding an ultrasound exam also increases the rate of false positive findings and unnecessary... view more (2008-05-14)
