Researchers from MIT have revealed the very first images of a human generated through a novel laser ultrasound imaging technique. Unlike conventional ultrasound, the new technique does not require any ...

The new laser ultrasound technique was used to produce an image (left) of a human forearm (above), which was also imaged using conventional ultrasound (right). (Courtesy: Xiang Zhang et al) In ...

Technique may help remotely image and assess health of infants, burn victims, and accident survivors in hard-to-reach places. Lasers produce images beneath the skin. Click for info. Engineers at MIT, ...

A new method lets researchers send laser light deeper into bodily tissues than ever before. A tenth of an inch (2.5 millimeters) may not sound very deep, but previous efforts to send laser light ...

For most patients, ultrasound is a relatively painless procedure. Conventional ultrasound is safe, low-cost, non-ionizing, and one of the most commonly used imaging modalities worldwide. In a typical ...

For most people, getting an ultrasound is a relatively easy procedure: As a technician gently presses a probe against a patient's skin, sound waves generated by the probe travel through the skin, ...

Many industrial buildings rely on ultrasound instruments that continually monitor the structural integrity of their systems without damaging or altering their features. One new technique draws on ...

Lasers are traditionally used in dentistry as high-tech surgical tools that can precisely cut both hard and soft tissue and often neatly coagulate in the process. More recently, laser-based imaging ...

A new ultrasound technique developed at MIT uses eye and skin safe lasers to produce images below the skin without body contact. Image of the human forearm with remote ultrasound technique (left, ...

For most people, getting an ultrasound is a relatively easy procedure: As a technician gently presses a probe against a patient's skin, sound waves generated by the probe travel through the skin, ...

Engineers have come up with an alternative to conventional ultrasound that doesn't require contact with the body to see inside a patient. The new laser ultrasound technique leverages an eye- and ...
