THREE-DIMENSIONAL REAL TIME ULTRASOUND MONITORING SYSTEM FOR ABLATION THERAPY

Unmet NeedTumor ablation therapy is an approach to remove tumor tissue by minimally invasive surgical procedures. In such procedures, an interventional tool is directed to a target location within the patient’s body that is either close to, or within the tumor tissue. Energy is then delivered to the targeted site to destroy the tumor tissue. Interventional...

Active Echo Fishing Lure

More and more fishing hobbyists use boat sonar to detect fishes and underwater structure. These sonars operate on the same principle as medical ultrasonography systems. They fire ultrasound pulses and receive the echo signal. Based on the signal time-of-flight (TOF) and phase, the image is reconstructed. These sonars work at a frequency between 100k...
