Combined In vivo Optical and µCT Imaging to Monitor Infection, Inflammation, and Bone Anatomy in an Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Mice
Published on: October 16, 2014
Abstract:
Piezoelectricity in in vivo bone has been demonstrated by exciting the bone with a coupled transducer made of modified lead zirconate titanate material (PCB-6) and the electrical signal in the excited bone is detected with the help of implanted stainless stell electrodes of 1.00 mm diameter. Also, acoustical parameters such as the ultrasound velocity and attenuation constant in in vivo bone are obtained. A possible mechanism of ultrasound interaction with the biological system in question is discussed, taking into account the theoretically calculated reflected power from each interface of intervening biological medium.

01:20Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
