Dr. Gene Strandness and the bioengineering group at the University of Washington, who conducted research on Doppler ultrasound as a diagnostic tool for vascular disease, published their first work in 1967. [44] [45] The first report published about the venous system appeared around 1967–1968. [46]
The ultrasound catheter tip is slid in over the guidewire and positioned, using angiography techniques so that the tip is at the farthest away position to be imaged. The sound waves are emitted from the catheter tip, are usually in the 20-40 MHz range, and the catheter also receives and conducts the return echo information out to the external ...
Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics (e.g., distances and velocities) or to generate an informative audible sound.

Diagnostic medical sonography (DMS), a branch of diagnostic medical imaging, is the use of imaging by medical ultrasound for medical diagnosis. DMS uses non-ionizing ultrasound to produce 2D and 3D images of the body. In Canada, the credentialing for diagnostic medical sonography is the Canadian Association of Registered Ultrasound Professionals.
The risk of deep vein thrombosis can be estimated by Wells score.. Lower limbs venous ultrasonography is also indicated in cases of suspected pulmonary embolism where a CT pulmonary angiogram is negative but a high clinical suspicion of pulmonary embolism remains. [1]
Pediatric Echocardiographers specialize in performing ultrasound imaging of the heart in infants, children and adolescents. ... Pharmacists are medication experts who specialize in preparing ...
Intravenous digital subtraction angiography (IV-DSA) is a form of angiography which was first developed in the late 1970s.. IV-DSA is a computer technique that compares an X-ray image of a region of the body before and after radiopaque iodine based dye has been injected intravenously into the body.
