''By bouncing sound waves off tiny bubbles generated inside eye tissue, a biomedical engineer at The University of Texas at Austin is developing a new tool that could improve the outcome of laser eye surgery and address common eye conditions. Stanislav ...'

''A more efficient way of detecting loosened artificial hip implants, which affect thousands of people every year, has been developed. Engineers at the University of Bath have developed a diagnostic test which measures the frequency of sound produced ...'

''The study of this innovative treatment approach -- called magnetic resonance imaging guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) -- also shows that the more completely tumors are destroyed by focused ultrasound, the more durable the symptom relief. In ...'

''Together with graduate student Michael A. Ellis, biomedical engineering team has created an innovative method of signal processing that can be used with a broad range of imaging and sensing systems including ultrasound, RADAR, SONAR, telecommunications, ...'

''JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Mayo Clinic physicians have adapted real-time 3-D ultrasound imaging devices -- including one designed to look at an infant’s heart -- so that they can watch as they use a needle filled with anesthetic to numb individual nerves ...'

''Cancer drugs can be targeted to tumors by delivering them in packets of nanoparticles, then releasing them with ultrasound. But this approach can be difficult because it requires a way to image the tumor prior to treatment. Natalya Rapoport, Ph.D., ...'

''When it came to reducing the number of worked hours for each abdominal ultrasound procedure, N.C. Baptist Hospital turned Six Sigma methods to treat more patients without adding additional staff. If the process worked in manufacturing and business, ...'

''The combined use of two minimally invasive techniques—endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB)-- in the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions has been shown to be more effective than either procedure alone and ...'

''DURHAM, N.C. -- 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. The “brain ...'

''Nice, France: Non-invasive screening of pregnant women with ultrasound early in pregnancy, combined with maternal blood analysis, has reduced the number of children born in Denmark with Down Syndrome by 50%, a scientist will tell the annual conference ...'
