Low Frequency Nanobubbles-Enhanced Ultrasound Mechanotherapy for Noninvasive Cancer Surgery
A unique theranostic ultrasound-based technology for low-energy mechanical ablation of tissues. Noninvasive ultrasound surgery can be achieved using focused ultrasound to locally affect the targeted site without damaging intervening tissues. Mechanical ablation and histotripsy use short and intense acoustic pulses to destroy the tissue via a purely mechanical effect. Here we show that coupled with […] Read More >
Incidental Detection of Colon Cancer Using AI Analysis of Abdominal CT Scans
Detecting colon cancer in general abdominal CT scans, i.e. without bowel emptying performed before colonoscopy, is extremely challenging. With nowadays technology, it is not possible to automatically detect cancer in the large intestine without prior preparation of the intestine as required in colonoscopy. A study has revealed that more than 20% of malignant findings in […] Read More >
