Ultrasound News and Research

RSS

Ultrasound is a procedure in which high-energy sound waves are bounced off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echo patterns are shown on the screen of an ultrasound machine, forming a picture of body tissues called a sonogram. Also called ultrasonography.

Cardiac MRI can produce an accurate picture of the healthy heart in adolescence

The results, published in eClinicalMedicine, have direct implications for clinical practice by providing a list of reference values for a multitude of cardiac parameters used in daily practice.

Cedars-Sinai addresses life-threatening aorta condition

Her husband and their five children call Rosa Wernher "the Energizer bunny" because she is always on the go. For decades, not even her genetically inherited Marfan syndrome could keep her off her feet to prevent her from oil painting or from gliding down a ski slope--until it did.

Intracranial pressure plays a key role in normal-tension glaucoma

An international team of researchers led by Lithuanian scientists provide additional evidence that intracranial pressure plays an important role in normal-tension glaucoma, which accounts for up to 50 per cent of all glaucoma cases.

Specialized fetal imaging to detect heart anomalies during pregnancy

It could be the effect of climate change. Or perhaps it's due to fertility treatments, multiple births or a mother's own health condition.

Study examines postpartum women's experiences during the third wave of COVID-19

In a recent study published in the journal Pharmacoepidemiology, researchers investigated postpartum women’s birth-associated experiences during the third wave of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Europe.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection: The leading cause of pregnancy-associated heart attacks

Despite increased awareness over the past decades, only about half (56%) of women recognize that heart disease is their No. 1 killer. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, accounting for 1 in every 5 female deaths.

New MRI method reveals the distinct compartments of placenta during pregnancy

Researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have developed a new method to process MRI scans to reveal the distinct compartments of the placenta, take measurements of oxygen levels in each region and determine if there are malformations in blood vessels (i.e., placental lesions).

Breast MRI found to be superior at detecting breast cancer in women with dense breasts

Compared to other common supplemental screening methods, breast MRI was superior at detecting breast cancer in women with dense breasts, according to a study published in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America.

New technique offers a two-prong approach to attacking cancers

When noninvasive sound waves break apart tumors, they trigger an immune response in mice. By breaking down the cell wall "cloak," the treatment exposes cancer cell markers that had previously been hidden from the body's defenses, researchers at the University of Michigan have shown.
