An overview of the principles and advantages of functional ultrasound imaging for brain and neuropharmacology research.

Conventional ultrasound (cUS) and functional ultrasound (fUS) both utilize megahertz-level sound waves to image inside the body; however, beyond this, the similarities end. This article aims to ...

Researchers may have a new way to watch the brain pulse, thanks to an ultrasound probe and a tiny window in the skull. This acoustically transparent hole allowed a team in California to capture, using ...

In a proof-of-concept study, a research team based at the Keck School of Medicine of USC showed that functional ultrasound imaging can record brain activity through a transparent skull implant. In the ...

The skull is so effective at protecting the brain that it has impeded the progress of neuroscience. In particular: A nice, thick skull poses challenges for imaging the brain in natural environments or ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in wearable devices. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection of ...

Meet BioticsAI, a startup that has built an AI-based platform that plugs into an ultrasound machine to prevent fetal malformation misdiagnosis. BioticsAI has been quietly working on its solution for ...

Point-of-care, handheld ultrasound (HHUS) is already a valuable adjunct to the stethoscope and plays an important and increasing role in medical education and physical diagnosis. Whether it will ...

Garrett Andrews is an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Political Science at Portland Community College where he teaches State and Local Government. With five years of experience as a writer ...

For people who are at high risk of developing breast cancer, frequent screenings with ultrasound can help detect tumors early. MIT researchers have now developed a miniaturized ultrasound system that ...
