Encapsulated microbubbles (EMBs), tiny gas-filled bubbles coated in lipid or protein shells, play a central role in ...

A device that can perform 3D ultrasound imaging with just one large piezoelectric ultrasound transmitter and receiver has been developed by researchers in the Netherlands. Most ultrasound imagers use ...

A new way of creating specially shaped pulses of ultrasound using light and a 3D printer has been unveiled by Michael Brown and colleagues at University College London. The pulses, which are creating ...

ETH Zurich researchers have investigated how tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted manner using ...

Have you ever needed an ultrasound only to see an image that makes absolutely no sense to the average viewer? Of course, doctors and clinicians can read them without issue (thankfully), but even so, a ...

For many years, doctors and technicians who performed medical ultrasound procedures viewed bubbles with wary concern. The phenomenon of cavitation—the formation and collapse of tiny gas bubbles due to ...

Sonograms and ultrasounds are closely related but refer to different things. An ultrasound is an imaging tool that produces a sonogram. Often, the terms sonogram and ultrasound are used ...
