The use of ultrasound for the quantitative characterization of the lung to predict the extent of pulmonary edema, has been identified. When ultrasound waves travel through the body some of each wave's ...

A team of engineering and medical researchers has found a way to use ultrasound to monitor fluid levels in the lung, offering a noninvasive way to track progress in treating pulmonary edema -- fluid ...

March 21 (UPI) --Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a way to use ultrasound technology to measure fluid in the lungs in pulmonary edema patients. The team of engineering and ...

The assessment of a patient’s body fluid status is a challenging task for modern clinicians. Ultrasonography has numerous advantages, the most important being reproducibility and bedside monitoring of ...

Researchers have established a suite of parameters that can be determined using ultrasound to quantitatively measure different physical characteristics of the lung. The researchers also demonstrated ...

New ultrasound technology developed at Johns Hopkins can distinguish fluid from solid breast masses with near perfect accuracy, an advance that could save patients, especially those with dense breast ...
