Rapid and Efficient Computation of Cell Paths During Ultrasonic Focusing
Ultrason Imaging. 2023 Aug 29:1617346231195598. doi: 10.1177/01617346231195598. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis biophysical analysis explores the first-principles physics of movement of white blood cell sized particles, suspended in an aqueous fluid and experiencing progressive or standing waves of acoustic pressure. In many current applications the cells are gradually nudged or herded toward the nodes of the standing wave, providing a degree of acoustic focusing and concentration of the cells in layers perpendicular to the direction of sound propagation. Here the underlying biomechanics of this phenomenon are analyzed ...

Ultrasonographic Findings and Prognosis of Metastases to the Thyroid Gland
Ultrason Imaging. 2023 Jul 5:1617346231179620. doi: 10.1177/01617346231179620. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMetastases to the thyroid gland (MTT) are uncommon in clinical practice. The ultrasound (US) features are easily confused with primary thyroid malignancy, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and other thyroid diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the role of US and analysis of prognosis of MTT. A total of 45 patients with MTT in the database between July 2009 and February 2022 at the Fujian Cancer Hospital were reviewed. US examinations were performed only on 20 patients, who were finally included in our study. Among...
