Assessment of Cardiac Function using 4D Imaging: Comparison with MRI
This recent article by Damen, et al. showcases the use of 4-dimensional ultrasound (4DUS) imaging for cardiac function evaluations, and compared the results to two standard techniques: short-axis M-mode (SAX MM) and cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
In vivo 3D rendered coregistered high-resolution ultrasound (greyscale) and photoacoustic (red, white and blue) image of a mid-gestational fetus and its associated placenta.

Although this may look like a carotid artery at first, what we are actually looking at is a longitudinal view of the radial artery bifurcation taken with our Vevo MD.
Here are a couple of awesome new applications for our brand new 4D Imaging Mode. Check out these videos showing incredible detail of the left atrium and right atrium!
Vevo MD Ultra High-Frequency ultrasound is able to bring out details in scars that are not visible using conventional ultrasound. Here is an image of a scar formed after open heart surgery.
The layers of the esophageal wall can easily be distinguished using Vevo MD ultra high-frequency ultrasound. Physiology of the esophagus can also be observed while a volunteer swallows water.
Our new 4D mode on the Vevo 3100 Imaging System will allow you to look at your 3D images over time. Here, a 4D image was taken from a parasternal short axis (SAX) view of the heart.
The ultrasound of the bladder is a representative transabdominal view and clearly shows an infiltrating mass, albeit a small one, into the lumen of the bladder. This imaging plane was acquired using an MS550 transducer.
The images in the column for the vehicle shows annotations in the first image to guide your understanding of this ultrasound image. The green trace shows the area of the liver that was investigated.
