Microultrasound Imaging of Tissue Dysplasia
The second most common cause of cancer deaths in the developed world is bowel cancer. Improving the ability to detect and classify lesions as early as possible, allows treatment earlier. The work presented in this thesis is structured around the following detailed aims:Development of high …

The Detection of Gastrointestinal Inflammation with Microultrasound and The Feasibility of Ultrasound Capsule Endoscopy
… can be met by augmenting capsule endoscopes with microultrasound. Microultrasound (µUS) frequencies are > 20 MHz and have the potential to provide highly detailed transmural images of the bowel wall. This would provide capsule endoscopes with a means of detecting and displaying subsurface disease …

Study of damage to peripheral nerves caused by anaesthetic needles during regional anaesthesia
… the ultrasound probe are contributory factors. Microultrasound techniques are increasingly used for high resolution small animal and human tissue imaging as anatomical structures may be visualized in greater detail compared to conventional B-mode ultrasound. However, microultrasound imaging of …

Models for Testing Contemporary Ultrasound Systems
… wave elastography, interventional ultrasound, microultrasound, and therapeutic ultrasound. These new developments motivate demand for new tissue models. The work discussed in this thesis presents different tissue models for these areas of contemporary ultrasound systems …

The biomechanical properties of epithelial cells and tissue in two and three dimensions
… by an AFM cantilever.<br/><br/>Alternatively, microultrasound (μUS) imaging was evaluated as an approach to provide additional useful information about 3D tissue models, with the benefit that direct contact with the sample is not required. Quantitative analysis of the μUS signal allowed the …
