Okay, so let's talk a little bit about ultrasound, the force of ultrasound.

So the ultrasonic transducer emits basically an ultrasonic beam that focuses inside the phantom.

This is a portable ultrasound.

layer upon layer.

This is much sharper than an ultrasound would be.

So let's first talk about focused ultrasound.

On the right hand side, you see an ultrasonic transducer.

You know all about imaging, right, ultrasound imaging.

They were the first to be treated by focused ultrasound.

And if you took an ultrasound of that area, it would look great.

Abdominal ultrasound, in which the size of the kidneys is measured, is commonly performed.

So the handheld ultrasound is basically surpassing and supplanting the stethoscope.

This is an MR suite with a focused ultrasound system.

So she elected to undergo a focused ultrasound procedure in 2008.

This is Libby, or actually, this is an ultrasound image of Libby.

Sonic and ultrasonic weapons (USW) are weapons of various types that use sound to injure, incapacitate, or kill an opponent.

We don't run around emitting ultrasonic squeaks, like bats.

This is much sharper than an ultrasound would be.

It is typically determined from ultrasound imagery and can be used to estimate gestational age.

One is the focused ultrasound, and the other one is the vision enabled magnetic resonance imaging.

So you can change the intensity, the frequency, the duration, the pulse shape of the ultrasound to create anything from an airbrush to a hammer.

One of the neurological conditions that can be treated with focused ultrasound are movement disorders,

First, ultrasound we're very familiar with it from physical therapy it's also now being used to treat cancer.

But ultrasound can be shaped to be anything in between, because it's a mechanical force.

We can prevent, or have the earliest detection possible, for breast cancer with an ultrasound device given to the patient.

And those spirals get layered on top of one another until we get a neat little shape that fits inside the nucleus.

Ultrasound, ductography, positron emission mammography (PEM), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are adjuncts to mammography.

So this idea of harnessing focused ultrasound to treat lesions in the brain is not new at all.

It wasn't until the invention of the MR and really the integration of MR with focused ultrasound that we could get the feedback both the anatomical and the physiological in order to have a completely noninvasive, closed loop surgical procedure.

One of the neurological conditions that can be treated with focused ultrasound are movement disorders, like Parkinson's or essential tremor.

According to the Rotterdam criteria, 12 or more small follicles should be seen in an ovary on ultrasound examination.

Arterial ultrasound, especially of the carotid arteries, with measurement of the thickness of the artery wall, offers a way to partially track the disease progression.

Traditionally, clinical carotid ultrasounds have only estimated the degree of blood lumen restriction, stenosis, a result of very advanced disease.

There is a unique opportunity now with focused ultrasound guided by MR, because we can actually think about prostate lumpectomy treating just the focal lesion and not removing the whole gland, and by that, avoiding all the issues with potency and incontinence.

Hi, so I think I just figured out what's been wrong with me for the last seven years, and I'd like a transvaginal ultrasound right now!

The benthic zone is the ecological region on, in and immediately above the seabed, including the sediment surface and some sub surface layers.
