Ultrasound Needle Guidance Technology Provides Real-Time Visual Updates of Needle Location
New ultrasound needle-guidance technology integrates ultrasound with sophisticated magnetics to provide users with real-time visual updates of needle positioning as it moves through tissue to the intended target. More...20 May 2013
Using Microbubbles with High-Intensity Ultrasound Enhances Cancer Therapy
Microbubbles have been shown to decrease the acoustic strength and time of ultrasound scanning that is required to heat and destroy an embedded target. If these new findings can be validated in clinical practice, microbubbles could improve the effectiveness of high-intensity ultrasound treatment of solid tumors. More...16 May 2013
In 3D Breast Screening, Two Views Are Best
One-view, three-dimensional breast screening known as tomosynthesis, results in less radiation dose and approximately five seconds less compression; however, new findings revealed that obtaining both views is necessary to help ensure that a tumor will not be overlooked. More...15 May 2013
Two Venous Punctures Not Always Required for Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Inferior Vena Cava Filter Placement
One venous puncture, instead of two, is an effective and safe way to intravascular ultrasound-guided inferior vena cava filter positioning in critically ill patients, a new study revealed. Inferior vena cava filter placement is performed to prevent or treat pulmonary emboli or deep venous thrombosis. More...15 May 2013
