Using only an apical four-chamber ultrasound view, this new AI-enabled platform can identify heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and has been shown to minimize the indeterminate classification of HFpEF in both undefined and well-defined cohorts. [1] In this post, Professor Paul Leeson, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of ...
Mark Moehring, the inventor of transcranial Doppler ultrasound. They thought ultrasound technology was a potential solution, given it is a highly accurate, well-known, and safe technology. ...
The design goal was to empower healthcare workers at all levels of expertise to make life-altering decisions at the point of care — while removing the technical barriers and capital outlays contributing to the high cost of healthcare. Thus, began the process of designing a handheld ultrasound device. The developers were Dr. Amin Nikoozadeh, of Stanford University and founder ...
Under the terms of the agreement, EDAP will market Exact Imaging’s micro-ultrasound diagnostic devices alongside its Focal One high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment solution. ...
Challenge: Bearing failure can lead to unplanned downtime and production interruption. This can be extremely costly and impact the company’s bottom line. Allowing bearings to run to failure was not an option. Relying on older mechanics to intuit a potential failure was not feasible either. Looking for cost-effective, reliable technologies to improve equipment availability and reduce ...
Abdominal ultrasound imaging is a widely available, low cost, point of care procedure that is used in daily clinical practice as the first-line examination to identify liver steatosis in patients with increased liver blood exams or suspected NAFLD. Despite the broad use of abdominal ultrasound imaging, its sensitivity among morbidly obese patients is low, and it may miss the diagnosis when the ...
In May 2017, a Consortium, coordinated by LG Sonic, started the LiceSonic research project in order to develop a smart and environmentally friendly method to control sea lice in open finfish production. The research project has now advanced to finalizing integration between the monitoring software and hardware. In May 2017, a Consortium, coordinated by LG Sonic, started the LiceSonic research ...
Controlling algae with low-power ultrasound is a well-established technology that has been in existence for many years. It is an environmentally-friendly technology that is harmless to fish and plants. This article explains how ultrasound controls algae, including the five most common questions related to ultrasonic algae control. Ultrasonic algae control Algal blooms cause reduced light ...
The ultrasonic degradation of direct pink was investigated in this study. Parameters affecting ultrasonic degradation degree such as ultrasonic power, pH, bubbling gas and the presence of inorganic salts, were examined. The results showed that the addition of inorganic salts (NaCl, CuSO4) facilitated the degradation of direct pink while the addition of K2CO3 inhibited it. The degradation degree ...
In this study, we investigated the use of ultrasound for the disinfection of process water as an alternative for more traditional techniques, like chlorination and UV-irradiation. A pilot plant was constructed to mimic circulating process water in industrial environments. The disinfection efficiency of ultrasound was assessed and compared to UV-treatment and chlorination. In addition, the ...
Recent research projects have underlined the potential of ultrasound as a chemical free treatment in water-related applications. This article reviews the use of ultrasound produced by the LG Sonic technology, with a focus on wastewater, irrigation and aquaculture applications. Sound Sound can be described as mechanical energy transmitted by pressure waves in a material medium. Thus, sound ...
