Detection of Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Transient Blood-Supply Shortage in Focused-Ultrasound-Induced Blood–Brain Barrier Disruption by Ultrasound Imaging
14 May 2012
Ching-Hsiang Fan, Hao-Li Liu, Chih-Ying Huang, Yan-Jung Ma, Tzu-Chen Yen, Chih-Kuang Yeh
Abstract: Focused ultrasound (FUS) in the presence of microbubbles can selectively open the blood–brain barrier (BBB). However, since overexcitation by FUS probably induces intracerebral hemorrhage, i...
Intra- and Interoperator Reproducibility of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) Elastography–Preliminary Results
14 May 2012
Simona Bota, Ioan Sporea, Roxana Sirli, Alina Popescu, Mirela Danila, Dan Costachescu
Abstract: Our study assessed acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) reproducibility and the factors influencing it. The intra- and interoperator reproducibility were studied in 33 and 58 patients, re...
Improved Parameterization of the Transcranial Doppler Signal
14 May 2012
Arjen Schaafsma
Abstract: The great potential of transcranial Doppler (TCD) as a tool for neuromonitoring is limited by the current parameterization of the signal. This article proposes a set of new parameters that m...
Does Probe Frequency Influence Diagnostic Accuracy in Newborn Hip Ultrasound?
14 May 2012
Christian-Dominik Peterlein, Susanne Fuchs-Winkelmann, Karl-Friedrich Schüttler, Stefan Lakemeier, Nina Timmesfeld, Christian Görg, Markus Dietmar Schofer
Abstract: Ultrasonography of the hip has gained wide acceptance as reliable method for diagnosing developmental hip dysplasia in infants. This blinded study was conducted to investigate the influence ...
Intracardiac Echocardiography Measurement of Dynamic Myocardial Stiffness with Shear Wave Velocimetry
14 May 2012
Peter J. Hollender, Patrick D. Wolf, Robi Goswami, Gregg E. Trahey
Abstract: Acoustic radiation force (ARF)–based methods have been demonstrated to be a viable tool for noninvasively estimating tissue elastic properties, and shear wave velocimetry has been used to me...

About World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology

World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology is a Federation of Affiliated Organizations consisting of Regional Federations and National Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology. The Regional Federations cover National Societies of Ultrasound in Asia (AFSUMB), Europe (EFSUMB), Latin America (FLAUS) and Africa (MASU). National Societies cover North America (AIUM), and Australasia (ASUM). Individual members of the National Societies are physicians, scientists, engineers and ultrasonographers. The total number of individual members is presently more than 43,000.
