Comparative imaging of surgical small intestinal disease in dogs: evaluation of pre-operative contrast-enhanced ultrasound, intra-operative contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and triple-phase contrast-enhanced computed tomography
… bowel in humans. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an alternative method for evaluating tissue perfusion whose utility for evaluation of canine small intestinal lesions remains to be fully tested. Thirteen client-owned dogs were prospectively recruited after presenting with surgical …

Parameters Influencing Seismic Structural Collapse with Emphasis on Vertical Accelerations and the Possible Related Risks for New and Existing Structures in the Central and Eastern United States
… (WUS) and the Central and Eastern United States (CEUS). Models were created that represented three, five, seven, and nine story buildings. Five sites from both the WUS and CEUS were used. Four different damage measures were used to assess the performance of the buildings. The IDA study was …

Studio del microcircolo della parete gastrica affetta da patologia infiammatoria e neoplastica mediante Color-Power Doppler ed ecografia con mezzo di contrasto endovenoso
… real-time con basso indice meccanico (CEUS) hanno permesso di valutare ecograficamente il microcircolo, consentendo la valutazione della vascolarizzazione di parete nelle patologie associate a flogosi e neoangiogenesi. Studi recenti hanno documentato i pattern Doppler e CEUS nella …

First-order statistical speckle models improve robustness and reproducibility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound perfusion estimates
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) permits the quantification and monitoring of adaptive tumor responses in the face of anti-angiogenic treatment, with the goal of informing targeted therapy. However, conventional CEUS image analysis relies on mean signal intensity as an estimate of tracer …

Seismic Source and Attenuation Studies in the Central and Eastern United States
… in the central and eastern United States (CEUS), this dissertation focuses on the source parameters and wave propagation characteristics of both tectonic earthquakes and induced earthquakes in the CEUS. The infrequent occurrence of significant earthquakes in the CEUS limits the necessary …

Comparative imaging of the canine acute abdomen: survey radiography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound and contrast-enhanced multi-detector helical computed tomography
… Unlike CE-MDCT, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) continues to be in its infancy as it relates to evaluation of the acute abdomen. The primary purpose of phase two of this study, therefore, was to determine the level of agreement between survey radiography, combined B-Mode/CEUS, and CE-MDCT …

Probabilistic Assessment of Non-Ductile Reinforced Concrete Frames Susceptible to Mid-America Ground Motions
… in the Central and Eastern United States (CEUS), and the fact that none with intensity comparable to the New Madrid sequence of 1811 12 or the Charleston earthquake of 1886 has occurred in the past century, have caused the earthquake hazard in the region to be ignored until quite recently. …

Development of a Vascularized Carotid Artery Plaque Phantom for the Investigation of Novel Ultrasound-Based Technologies
… visualized using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) technology, and its accurate quantification could provide a powerful tool for the detection of vulnerable plaque. This project was undertaken to develop a model of vascularized atherosclerotic plaque compatible with CEUS, and to apply it in …

Embankment performance under earthquake loading
… of ground motions of the Central United States (CEUS). Analytical models are developed and subjected to dynamic time history analysis. First, a benchmark full bond model is developed and analyzed. Parametric studies on geometry, material properties, and interface conditions are conducted using a …

Comparison of Magnetic Resonance Imaging & Sonography in an Animal Model in the Acute Stages of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a musculoskeletal disorder characterized by the compression of an enlarged or inflamed median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel and deep to the flexor retinaculum. CTS is one of the most common entrapment syndromes of the upper limbs, with hundreds of …
