Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Acoustic Cavitation

    Background:

    • Microbubble cavitation is a promising therapeutic ultrasound technique.
    • Optimizing acoustic parameters is crucial for effective and safe cavitation treatments.
    • Clinical ultrasound scanners require specific modifications for advanced applications like cavitation therapy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and implement optimized ultrasound pulses for microbubble cavitation treatments using a clinical scanner.
    • To evaluate acoustic parameters and develop a passive cavitation detection system for monitoring inertial cavitation dose (ICD).
    • To demonstrate the feasibility of image-guided cavitation treatment with enhanced ICD.

    Main Methods:

    • Designed and implemented specific ultrasound pulses (1.67 MHz, 20-1000 cycles, 0.8-2.5 MPa, 5-100 ms PRT).
    • Utilized a tissue-mimicking phantom with Sonazoid microbubbles and hydrophone measurements for beamforming optimization.
    • Developed and employed a passive cavitation detection (PCD) system to measure scattered signals and calculate ICD.

    Main Results:

    • Maximized ICD was achieved with 1000 cycles, 5 ms PRT, and 2.5 MPa peak negative pressure (PNP).
    • Sustained inertial cavitation occurred within the first 100 ms of treatment, with broadband energy sustained throughout long pulses.
    • Significantly increased ICD compared to standard clinical pulse wave Doppler settings was demonstrated.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimized long, high-pressure ultrasound pulses can significantly enhance microbubble cavitation treatments on clinical scanners.
    • The developed PCD system effectively monitors cavitation dose, enabling image-guided therapy.
    • This work paves the way for in vivo applications in animal tumor models.
