Interpreting medical ultrasound images is a difficult task, requiring a technician to look at 2D images and mentally arrange them into a 3D representation of what the tissue looks like. To make that ...

A new imaging technique for real 3D vascular ultrasound could become a key tool in strategies aimed at preventing cardiovascular disease in apparently healthy persons, complementing traditional risk ...

In comparison with standard two-dimensional (2D) imaging of fetal structure and biometry, we aimed to evaluate the role of three-dimensional (3D) imaging as a screening tool in the mid-trimester.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Regular sonograms give expectant parents a brief peek into their developing baby. But a new technology is offering an even better bonding experience for a mother during her ...

On a mammogram, breast cancer looks white and stands out next to darker-colored fatty tissue. But dense tissue also looks white on an X-ray, making it harder for radiologists to distinguish what is a ...
