Echogenic Biomaterials for Medical Ultrasound Tracking
As the world population ages, hospital discharges of geriatric patients to nursing homes have increased. Patients with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are routinely discharged with the catheters in place. PICCs, only capable of being tracked through x-ray imaging, will routinely …

Echogenic Liposomes For Nitric Oxide Delivery and Breast Cancer Treatment
… and antitumor agents in cancer chemotherapy. Echogenic liposomes (ELIP) have the potential to entrap air or bioactive gas to enhance acoustic reflectivity in ultrasound and are used as a contrast agent. The innovative part of this study is based on a novel concept to encapsulate nitric oxide …

A FPGA/DSP based ultrasound system for tumor detection
… receivers. This received signal is analyzed for echogenic as well as echolucent tumors to differentiate between the two along with non-tumorous sample and also for delay, signal distortion to determine the size/location of the tumor. This analysis is further implemented using Field Programmable …

Engineering Microbubbles with the Buried-Ligand Architecture for Targeted Ultrasound Molecular Imaging
… of their compressible gas core, they are highly echogenic. Taking advantage of this property, microbubbles are used as ultrasound contrast agents for signal enhancement. In addition, they are being developed for targeted diagnostic molecular imaging applications. Previous studies have shown that …

Attachment of polyelectrolyte multilayers to cells and the implications on cell behavior
… backpack, such as drug-containing liposomes. Echogenic liposomes containing doxorubicin were embedded into cell backpacks, and the ability of using these cell backpacks as a targeted, anti-cancer therapy was evaluated by studying the effects on mouse monocytes. Finally, thin films containing …

Ultrasound features of human carotid plaques
… the relation between plaque features, mainly echogenicity measured as grey scale median (GSM), and some of the known risk factors for cardiovascular events, as well as treatment approaches. Measurement of GSM has in the last decades become common in research. It has not, however, been …

Trans-vaginal ultrasound diagnosis of adenomyosis with histologic correlation
… CI: 50.5-73.8]. The presence of subendometrial echogenic linear striations had the highest specificity 96.8% [95%CI: 89-99] and accuracy 78.2% [95% CI: 67.8-85.9] for the diagnosis of adenomyosis. TVS diagnosis of adenomyosis was ultrasonographer dependent. Study group B comprised 261 women. …
