Quantitative Ultrasound and B-mode Image Texture Features Correlate with Collagen and Myelin Content in Human Ulnar Nerve Fascicles [PDF]

, 2019
We investigate the usefulness of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and B-mode texture features for characterization of ulnar nerve fascicles. Ultrasound data were acquired from cadaveric specimens using a nominal 30 MHz probe. Next, the nerves were extracted

Effectiveness of high-intensity focused ultrasound combined with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist or combined with levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system for adenomyosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology
Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist (GnRH-a) and levonorgestrel releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) are conventional conservative treatments for adenomyosis, and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a novel ablation technique.

Role of diffusion-weighted imaging in monitoring treatment response following high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation of recurrent sacral chordoma

Radiology Case Reports, 2019
Chordoma is the most common malignant tumor of the sacrum and is associated with significant neurologic morbidity. Local recurrence is very common, and the long-term prognosis is poor.
