Colonic Diverticulitis Location Affects the Diagnostic Accuracy of Point-of-Care Ultrasound: A Multicenter, 10-Year Study
Point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) has high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing uncomplicated colonic diverticulitis in Western patients. Evidence regarding the accuracy of PoCUS in Asian patients in which diverticulitis frequently occurs in the right-side colon is lacking. This multicenter, 10-y study was aimed at evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of PoCUS in various locations of uncomplicated diverticulitis among Asians. (Source: Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology)

Ultrasound Speckle Decorrelation-Based Blood Flow Measurements
Ultrasound imaging is the preferred noninvasive technique to measure blood flow to diagnose cardiovascular disease such as heart failure, carotid stenosis, and renal failure. Conventional ultrasound techniques such as Doppler ultrasound, ultrasound imaging velocimetry, vector Doppler and transverse oscillation beamforming have been used for blood flow velocity profile measurement. However, these techniques were limited to measuring blood flow velocities within the 2-D lateral (across the ultrasound beam) plane of a vessel, and the blood flow velocity profile was derived by assuming that blood vessels have a circular cross-...

In Situ Measurement of Acoustic Attenuation for Focused Ultrasound Ablation Surgery Using a Boiling Bubble at the Focus
Acoustic attenuation in the propagation path of focused ultrasound ablation surgery determines the energy loss toward the focal region and is critical to the consequent treatment outcomes. In situ non-invasive, reliable, and accurate measurement is challenging for multi-layered heterogeneous tissues within the focusing angle. (Source: Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology)
