[High-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) and its biomedical applications]
1School of Medical Instrumentation, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology.
Abstract:
HFUS is ultrasound whose frequency is higher than 10MHz. HFUS imaging features very high resolution, which is up to 20 microm. HFUS is used to check the superficial organs such as eye ball and skin with extremely high resolution. When applied to small animals, HFUS is able to scan the body and the embryo in microscopic scale. The blood flow information in microcirculation can be detected if the high frequency Doppler technology is applied. Convenience, simplicity, real time and high resolution of HFUS have lead to a significant role in biomedical research and clinical applications.

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
