Ultrasound imaging
Abstract
Ultrasound imaging is now in very widespread clinical use. The most important underpinning technologies include transducers, beam forming, pulse compression, tissue harmonic imaging, contrast agents, techniques for measuring blood flow and tissue motion, and three-dimensional imaging. Specialized and emerging technologies include tissue characterization and image segmentation, microscanning and intravascular scanning, elasticity imaging, reflex transmission imaging, computed tomography, Doppler tomography, photoacoustics and thermoacoustics. Phantoms and quality assurance are necessary to maintain imaging performance. Contemporary ultrasonic imaging procedures seem to be safe but studies of bioeffects are continuing. It is concluded that advances in ultrasonic imaging have primarily been pushed by the application of physics and innovations in engineering, rather than being pulled by the identification of specific clinical objectives in need of scientific solutions. Moreover, the opportunities for innovation to continue into the future are both challenging and exciting.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
