Silicon-based ultrasound generates images

Sensant has created the first clinical images using a novel ultrasound technology that uses silicon-based transducers. The images of the carotid artery, breast, and musculoskeletal system were presented for comparison with conventionally made images at the 10th Congress of the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology in Montreal June 1 to 4. The Montreal-based company generated images in collaboration with staff from Esaote and radiologists at the Valduce Hospital in Como, Italy. Sensant claims its images rival those produced by state-of-the-art ultrasound systems, which rely on piezoelectric crystal technology. The tiny silicon structures, known as capacitive microfabricated ultrasonic transducers, provide superior acoustic response, according to Sensant (SCAN 1/2/03).
New Literature Review Assesses Merits of Cardiac MRI After Survival of Sudden Cardiac Arrest
April 19th 2024While noting inconsistencies with the diagnostic yield of cardiac MRI in patients who survived sudden cardiac arrest, researchers cited unique advantages in characterizing ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and facilitating alternate diagnoses.
Study of Ofatumumab for Multiple Sclerosis Shows 'Profoundly Suppressed MRI Lesion Activity'
April 17th 2024The use of continuous ofatumumab in patients within three years of a relapsing multiple sclerosis diagnosis led to substantial reductions in associated lesions on brain MRI scans, according to research recently presented at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) conference.
