Photoacoustic imaging combines the high contrast of optical imaging with the spatial resolution and penetration depth of ultrasound. This technique holds tremendous potential for imaging in small animals and importantly, is clinically translatable. At present, there is no accepted standard...
- ultrasound scanning. Peters, Michael // BMA A-Z Family Medical Encyclopedia;2004, p768
An encyclopedia entry for "ultrasound scanning" is presented. It refers to a diagnostic technique which produces moving images. During ultrasound scanning, high frequency sound waves are passed into the body which reflects echoes that are analyzed to build a picture of a fetus in the uterus or...

Background: Unstable carotid plaques on subjective, visual, assessment using B-mode ultrasound scanning appear as echolucent and heterogeneous. Although previous studies on computer assisted plaque characterisation have standardised B-mode images for brightness, improving the objective...
- Ultrasonography in loggerhead sea turtles. // Veterinary Record: Journal of the British Veterinary Association;8/18/2007, Vol. 161 Issue 7, p216
The article reports on the ultrasonography used to examine young loggerhead sea turtles at the rehabilitation center in Spain by physician Ana Valente and colleagues. It is said that the group has examined 20 live turtles, using 10 areas of soft tissue integument as acoustic windows, and five...
