Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) is an advanced ultrasound imaging technique. By localizing microbubbles, ULM overcomes the physical limit of diffraction, achieving sub-wavelength level resolution and qualifying as a super-resolution technique. [1] [2] ULM is primarily utilized in vascular imaging.
Functional ultrasound imaging (fUS) is a medical ultrasound imaging technique for detecting or measuring changes in neural activities or metabolism, such as brain activity loci, typically through measuring hemodynamic (blood flow) changes.
A microscopy technique relying on the photoacoustic effect, [61] i.e. the generation of (ultra)sound caused by light absorption. A focused and intensity modulated laser beam is raster scanned over a sample. The generated (ultra)sound is detected via an ultrasound transducer. Commonly piezoelectric ultrasound transducers are employed. [62]
English: The main applications and features of functional ultrasound (fUS) imaging. fUS imaging provides (i) a compatibility with a wide range of animal models for preclinical studies, (ii) the ability to image awake and freely moving animals, (iii) possibility to combine with super-resolution ultrasound localization microscopy, (iv) possible extension to 3D imaging, (v) functional ...
Photo-activated localization microscopy (PALM or FPALM) [1] [2] and stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) [3] are widefield (as opposed to point scanning techniques such as laser scanning confocal microscopy) fluorescence microscopy imaging methods that allow obtaining images with a resolution beyond the diffraction limit.
Positron emission tomography (PET) [1] is a functional imaging technique that uses radioactive substances known as radiotracers to visualize and measure changes in metabolic processes, and in other physiological activities including blood flow, regional chemical composition, and absorption. Different tracers are used for various imaging ...
Molecular imaging is a field of medical imaging that focuses on imaging molecules of medical interest within living patients. This is in contrast to conventional methods for obtaining molecular information from preserved tissue samples, such as histology.
Ultrasound image showing the liver, gallbladder and common bile duct. Medical ultrasound uses high frequency broadband sound waves in the megahertz range that are reflected by tissue to varying degrees to produce (up to 3D) images. This is commonly associated with imaging the fetus in pregnant women. Uses of ultrasound are much broader, however.
