Open AccessAcoustic radiation force impulse-induced lung hemorrhage: investigating the relationship with peak rarefactional pressure amplitude and mechanical index in rabbits
The safety of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography, which applies higher acoustic power with a longer pulse duration (PD) than conventional diagnostic ultrasound, is yet to be verified. We asse...

Assessment of the risk of disease transmission during fine-needle aspiration cytology under ultrasound guidance by visualization of droplet and aerosol formation
Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) under ultrasound guidance is clinically useful, but there is a risk of spreading infection by generating droplets of contaminated fluids during the procedure. Risk assess...
