Photoacoustic (PA) imaging based on the photon-to-ultrasound conversion allows the imaging of optical absorbers in deep tissues with high spatial resolution. However, the inherent optical absorbance of biomolecules (e.g., hemoglobin, melanin, etc.) would …

Heart failure continues to be a common and deadly sequela of myocardial infarction (MI). Despite strong evidence suggesting the importance of myocardial mechanics in cardiac remodelling, many MI studies still rely on two-dimensional analyses to estimate …

Aim: Surgical management of pediatric extrahepatic portal vein obstruction requires meso-Rex bypass using autologous or synthetic grafts. Tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) provide an alternative, but no validated animal models using portal TEVGs …

Background: Remodeling of the radial artery (RA) after transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (TRI) is under studied. Objectives: To examine the impact of TRI on RA diameter and intimal-medial thickness (IMT) in men and women using 55 Mhz …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the combination of intraoral ultra-high-frequency ultrasonography (UHFUS) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the evaluation of hard and soft tissues in a case of peri-implantitis. Study Design: …

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of ultra-high frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) imaging of intraoral soft tissue lesions. Study Design: The study included 160 patients presenting with oral soft tissue lesions …

Background: Ultra-High Frequency Ultrasound (UHFUS) is a recently introduced diagnostic technique involving the use of higher frequencies compared to conventional ultrasound. Among the several fields of application, intraoral usage of UHFUS appears still …

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. An ultrasound staging (SOS-HS) using frequencies from 7 to 18 MHz has been proposed to evaluate the severity of the disease. Materials and methods: We retrospectively evaluated …

Background: Ultrasonography is a cost-effective, noninvasive, and expedient imaging modality with numerous clinical applications. Conventional ultrasound uses transducers with frequencies that range from 5 to 12 MHz. However, ultrahigh frequency …

Objective: Acute limb ischemia (ALI), the most challenging form of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in skeletal muscle tissue, leads to decreased skeletal muscle viability and limb function. Mitochondrial injury has been shown to play a key role in …
