An Ultrasonically Actuated Needle Promotes the Transport of Nanoparticles and Fluids [PDF]
Non-invasive therapeutic ultrasound methods, such as high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), have limited access to tissue targets shadowed by bones or presence of gas. This study demonstrates that an ultrasonically actuated medical needle can be used to translate nanoparticles and fluids under the action of nonlinear phenomena, potentially ...

Classical and learned MR to pseudo-CT mappings for accurate transcranial ultrasound simulation [PDF]
Model-based treatment planning for transcranial ultrasound therapy typically involves mapping the acoustic properties of the skull from an x-ray computed tomography (CT) image of the head. Here, three methods for generating pseudo-CT images from magnetic resonance (MR) images were compared as an alternative to CT. A convolutional neural network (U-Net)

Motion rejection and spectral unmixing for accurate estimation of in vivo oxygen saturation using multispectral optoacoustic tomography [PDF]
Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) uniquely enables spatial mapping in high resolution of oxygen saturation (SO$_2$), with potential applications in studying pathological complications and therapy efficacy. MSOT offers seamless integration with ultrasonography, by using a common ultrasound detector array.

Numerical analysis of effective refractive index ultrasonic sensor based on Cantilever arm structure slot-based dual-micro-ring resonator [PDF]
We propose a novel ultrasonic sensor structure composed of Cantilever arm structure slot dual-micro-ring resonators(DMRR).We present a theoretical analysis of transmission by using the coupled mode theory.The mode field distributions and sound pressure distributions of transmission spectrum are obtained from 3D simulations based on Comsol Multi-physics(

Quantification of Ultrasonic Texture heterogeneity via Volumetric Stochastic Modeling for Tissue Characterization [PDF]
Intensity variations in image texture can provide powerful quantitative information about physical properties of biological tissue. However, tissue patterns can vary according to the utilized imaging system and are intrinsically correlated to the scale of analysis.
