the development of advanced technologies for CVD diagnosis and treatment. Biomarker …

Bacterial infection has received substantial attention and poses a serious threat to human
health. Although antibiotics can effectively fight against bacterial infection, the occurrence of …

Shear wave elastography offers a new dimension to echocardiography: it measures
myocardial stiffness. Therefore, it could provide additional insights into the pathophysiology …

Myocardial stiffness is an intrinsic property of the myocardium that influences both diastolic
and systolic cardiac function. Myocardial stiffness represents the resistance of this tissue to …

Background Therapeutic ultrasound (US) has been extensively explored for its inherent high
tissue-penetrating capability and on-demand irradiation without radioactive damage …

In this article, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for 3-D, high-frame-rate
ultrasound imaging probes is presented. The design is the first to combine element-level …

Ultrafast radiographic imaging and tracking (U-RadIT) use state-of-the-art ionizing particle
and light sources to experimentally study sub-nanosecond transients or dynamic processes …

Medical ultrasound is one of the most widely used imaging modalities worldwide.
Microbubbles, typically~ 1–8 μm in diameter, are ultrasound contrast agents confined to the …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death worldwide. An effective
management and treatment of CVDs highly relies on accurate diagnosis of the disease. As …

Pediatric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common form of cardiomyopathy
in children and a leading cause of sudden cardiac death. Yet, the association between …
