Development and Evaluation of a Mixed-Reality Tele-ultrasound System
The objective of this feasibility study was to develop and assess a tele-ultrasound system that would enable an expert sonographer (situated at the remote site) to provide real-time guidance to an operator (situated at the imaging site) using a mixed-reality environment.

Effect of Anesthetic Carrier Gas on In Vivo Circulation Times of Intravenously Administered Phospholipid Oxygen Microbubbles in Rats
For the treatment of tumor hypoxia, microbubbles comprising oxygen as a majority component of the gas core with a stabilizing shell may be used to deliver and release oxygen locally at the tumor site through ultrasound destruction. Previous work has revealed differences in circulation half-life in vivo for perfluorocarbon-filled microbubbles, typically used as ultrasound imaging contrast agents, as a function of anesthetic carrier gas. These differences in circulation time in vivo were likely due to gas diffusion as a function of anesthetic carrier gas, among other variables. (Source: Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology)

Controlled Hyperthermia With High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound and Ultrasound Contrast Agent Microbubbles in Porcine Liver
The objective of this work was to study microbubble-enhanced temperature elevation with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) at different acoustic pressures and under image guidance. The microbubbles were administered with either local or vascular injections (that mimic systemic injections) in perfused and non-perfused ex vivo porcine liver under ultrasound image guidance.

Viscoelastic Characteristics in Mouse Model of Hepatic Steatosis With Inflammation by Kelvin –Voigt Fractional Derivative Modeling
The aim of the work described here was to measure the characteristics of viscoelasticity and fluidity in a mouse model of hepatic steatosis and inflammation using a nano-indentation test and the Kelvin –Voigt fractional derivative (KVFD) model and to explore the viscoelasticity and fluidity characteristics in mice with different degrees of hepatic steatosis with inflammation.

The impact of amplitude modulation frequency in harmonic motion imaging on inclusion characterization
Ultrasound elasticity imaging techniques aim to provide a non-invasive characterization of tissue mechanical properties to detect pathological changes and monitor disease progression. Harmonic motion imaging (HMI) is an ultrasound-based elasticity imaging technique that utilizes an oscillatory acoustic radiation force to induce localized displacements and estimate relative tissue stiffness. Previous studies have applied a low amplitude modulation (AM) frequency of 25 or 50 Hz in HMI to assess the mechanical properties of different tissue types.

Neovascularization From the Carotid Artery Lumen Into the Carotid Plaque Confirmed by Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound and Histology
This study was aimed at assessing intraplaque neovessels, focusing on neovascularization from the vascular luminal side using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and determining that this contrast effect indicates that the neovessel is connected to the vessel lumen histopathologically. Whether plaque vulnerability can be assessed more accurately was also investigated. (Source: Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology)

Role of Quantitation of Saline Bubble Studies in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis
Microbubble contrast echocardiography with a late positive signal enables the detection of intrapulmonary vascular dilation, including hepatopulmonary syndrome, in patients with end-stage liver disease. We assessed the relationship between the severity of bubble study and clinical outcome. (Source: Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology)

Value of Multimodal Data From Clinical and Sonographic Parameters in Predicting Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Curative Treatment
The objective of the work described here was to assess the value of the combination of pre-operative multimodal data —including clinical data, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) information and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) based on 2-D shear wave elastography (SWE)—in predicting early (within 1 y) and late (after 1 y) recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after curative treatment.
