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 authors and so they set out to establish whether... view more... (2000-01-25)
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)
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)
Ultrasound more cost efficient than other medical imaging choices
In comparing ultrasound with other medical imaging methods such as MRI and CT scans, a literature review of published studies in the May/June issue of Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (JDMS) describes the use of ultrasound to provide an accurate diagnosis more cost effectively than the alternatives. view more (2009-05-21)
Second Look Ultrasound: Effective MRI Correlate for Identifying Incidental Breast Lesions Not Seen on Mammography and First Look Ultrasound
A second look ultrasound of the breast, used in conjunction with MRI, allows radiologists to identify lesions not detected on conventional mammography and first look ultrasound; in some cases it allows radiologists to determine whether or not a lesion is malignant or benign, according to a study performed at the University of Rome La Sapienza in... view more...

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)
Hair-sized lens helps look in blood vessels
A tiny measurement system that incorporates a lens as thick as two human hairs has been developed by researchers to investigate the force exerted on the wall of an artery as blood whooshes past. In a research paper published today in the Institute of Physics publication Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, Dr Rob Keynton and colleagues... view more... (2002-03-20)
Groundbreaking, inexpensive, pocket-sized ultrasound device can help treat cancer, relieve arthritis
A prototype of a therapeutic ultrasound device, developed by a Cornell graduate student, fits in the palm of a hand, is battery-powered and packs enough punch to stabilize a gunshot wound or deliver drugs to brain cancer patients. view more (2008-12-22)
3-D doppler ultrasound helps identify breast cancer
Three-dimensional (3-D) power Doppler ultrasound helps radiologists distinguish between malignant and benign breast masses, according to a new study being published in the November issue of Radiology. view more (2008-10-21)

Ultrasound may help regrow teeth
Hockey players, rejoice! A team of University of Alberta researchers has created technology to regrow teeth—the first time scientists have been able to reform human dental tissue. view more (2006-06-29)
ECM launches Agroscan ultrasound veterinary devices for pregnancy detection
ECM of France has launched Agroscan - a complete range of ultrasound scanners for veterinary use, suitable for performing ultrasounds on sows, cows, mares, ewes and goats. The Agroscan L is completely innovative as it is the only portable device to use both sector and linear probes. view more (2005-04-07)
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)
SCAN: Delivering bone disorder diagnosis, fracture healing
The fight against bone disorders that affect millions of Americans will soon receive a boost from an ultrasound device being developed by space biomedical researchers. The technology under development will allow early prediction of bone disorders such as osteoporosis and guided acceleration of fracture healing. view more (2009-02-19)
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 Women's Imaging Technique Allows for a More Accurate Diagnosis of Breast Cancer
Breast elastography allows physicians to give a more accurate diagnosis of breast cancer, according to a study performed at Singapore General Hospital in Singapore. view more (2009-04-24)
Sewer sensors examine the parts the inspectors cannot reach
A remote control sensing device is being developed to detect defects in sewer walls. Using both ultrasound and laser light, digital information on the condition of the sewer walls is fed back to a computer which can be programmed to spot problems. The research is being carried out by a team in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at King's... view more... (2002-10-10)
3-D ultrasound scanner could guide robotic surgeries
Duke University engineers have shown that a three-dimensional ultrasound scanner they developed can successfully guide a surgical robot. view more (2006-10-31)
