Italy-based imaging vendor Esaote has developed a module for use on diagnostic ultrasound scanners that exploits the characteristics of second-generation contrast media. The module, called Contrast Tuned Imaging, supports real-time imaging of injected microbubbles, extending the longevity of these agents through the implementation of a low mechanical index. Selective automatic tuning adjusts the ultrasound beam to deliver the optimal signal, according to the company, which claims the module can improve contrast-enhanced cardiac, vascular, and small parts applications.
New MRI Research Explores Links Between Waist-to-Hip Ratio and Memory in Aging
March 13th 2025Researchers found that a higher waist-to-hip ratio in midlife was associated with higher mean diffusivity in 26 percent of total white matter tracts in the cingulum as well as the superior and inferior longitudinal fasciculus.
Can Ultrasound-Based Radiomics Enhance Differentiation of HER2 Breast Cancer?
March 11th 2025Multicenter research revealed that a combined model of clinical factors and ultrasound-based radiomics exhibited greater than a 23 percent higher per patient-level accuracy rate for identifying HER2 breast cancer than a clinical model.
