Towards a System for Micro-Ultrasound Guided Focal Brachytherapy Boost Delivery

We previously developed a system capable of acquiring accurate transrectal 3D micro-ultrasound (mUS) images to allow for visualization and focal treatment of intra-prostatic lesions during prostate brachytherapy. This system made use of a mUS probe with non-s...

Quantitative Validation of an Integrated Prostate-Specific Positron Emission Tomography and 3D Transrectal Ultrasound Image Fusion–Guided Trans-Perineal Prostate Biopsy Platform

Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)–guided biopsy remains the most widely used method for diagnosing prostate cancer despite its poor lesion conspicuity. Prostate-specific PET (P-PET) provides improved spatial resolution compared to whole-body PET. However, P-PET l...

BLUE RIBBON POSTER IMAGING: Three-Dimensional Ultrasound Synovial Blood Flow Volume and Changes with Exercise In Thumb Osteoarthritis

The basal thumb joint is a common site of osteoarthritis (OA) in the hand. Joint inflammation and changes in blood flow regulation are associated with disease progression; however, there is a limited understanding of synovial blood flow changes and the impact...

BEST IN PHYSICS (IMAGING): Development of Supine MRI-Localized, 3D Ultrasound-Guided Breast Biopsy Using a Wearable 3D Abus Device

Ultrasound (US)-guided breast biopsy is widely used due to its accessibility and real-time visualization, but operator dependence can contribute to high false-negative sampling. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided biopsy offers high sensitivity but is com...
