Ultrasonography

8.2K
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.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Surgical Devices
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Bone biopsy is an invasive procedure causing patient discomfort and potential soft tissue damage.
    • Conventional bone biopsy needles require significant force, leading to complications like hematoma.
    • Power ultrasonic surgical devices offer advantages such as low cutting force and high accuracy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design, analyze, and test two novel power ultrasonic needles for bone biopsy.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasonic technology in bone tissue sampling.
    • To compare the performance of ultrasonic bone biopsy needles with conventional methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of two distinct power ultrasonic needle configurations for bone penetration.
    • Utilizing micrometric vibrations at the tip of a resonant ultrasonic device.
    • Employing an ultrasonic-sonic approach transferring energy via a free-mass.
    • Validation of device design through experimental testing and finite-element analysis.

    Main Results:

    • Experimental results closely matched numerical and finite-element analysis predictions for device behavior.
    • Both ultrasonic needle designs successfully recovered trabecular bone samples from ovine femur.
    • The resonant needle device extracted superior cortical bone samples compared to conventional needles.

    Conclusions:

    • Novel power ultrasonic needles are effective for bone biopsy, offering comparable or superior sample quality.
    • Ultrasonic technology presents a promising alternative to conventional bone biopsy techniques, reducing invasiveness and improving outcomes.
    • Finite-element analysis serves as a valuable tool in the design and optimization of ultrasonic surgical devices.
