Major advance in 3D ultrasound imaging to observe entire organs
MDLinx May 13, 2022
Two successive studies by the Physics for Medicine Paris laboratory (ESPCI Paris-PSL, Inserm, CNRS) highlight advances in non-invasive 3D ultrasound imaging, making it possible to observe blood flow in real time in two whole organs, the heart and the brain. This work was published in JACC Cardiovascular Imaging and featured on the cover ofeBioMedicine.
Organs are supplied by a complex network of blood vessels, which are essential for their proper functioning. Some imaging techniques give a global view of this vascular network, but for the first time, ultrafast 3D imaging allows us to observe blood flow from the large arteries to the smallest blood vessels of only a few micrometers in diameter.
For several years, the Physics for Medicine Paris...
