The prevalence of polycystic ovaries was determined by pelvic ultrasound imaging in 119 women (mean age, 23.6±6.06 years; range, 14–45 years) with acne but with no menstrual disorders, obesity, or hirsutism, and in 35 healthy controls... more
The characterization and calibration of ultrasound imaging systems requires tissue-mimicking phantoms with known acoustic properties, dimensions and internal features. Tissue phantoms are available commercially for a range of medical... more
A technique for focusing ultrasound through the human skull is described and verified. The approach is based on a layered wavevector-frequency domain model, which propagates ultrasound from a hemisphere-shaped transducer through the skull... more
This study was designed to evaluate contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging of carotid atherosclerosis as a clinical tool to study intraplaque neovascularization.Plaque neovascularization is associated with plaque vulnerability and... more
Enhanced echo intensity (EI) on an ultrasound image of skeletal muscle indicates changes in muscle quality, including increases in intramuscular fibrous and adipose tissues. However, it is not known whether muscle quality assessed from... more
Daily CT localization has been demonstrated to be a precise method of correcting radiation field placement by reducing setup and organ motion variations to facilitate dose escalation in prostate carcinoma. The purpose of this study was to... more
Micron- to nanometer-sized ultrasound agents, like encapsulated microbubbles and echogenic liposomes, are being developed for diagnostic imaging and ultrasound mediated drug/gene delivery. This review provides an overview of the current... more
The aim of the present study was to establish the accuracy and reproducibility of left atrial volume measurements by three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography compared to 2D biplane and monoplane measurements. No echocardiographic technique... more
For three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound imaging, connecting elements of a two-dimensional (2D) transducer array to the imaging system's... more
The aims of this study were to evaluate ultrasonography as a method for measuring masseter muscle thickness, to quantitate the normal range of the ultrasonically measured thickness of the masseter in adults, and to test whether the... more
