The development of new ultrasound (US) probes based on Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (CMUT) technology requires an early realistic assessment of imaging capabilities. We describe a repeatable experimental protocol for US image acquisition and comparison with magnetic resonance images, using an ex vivo bovine brain as an imaging target.

This video outlines a protocol for implanting a multi-shank linear silicon probe into the mouse brain to measure local field potentials. The procedure involves securing the probe to a stereotaxic unit, positioning it accurately over the target brain region, inserting it into the brain, and securing it with dental cement. After implantation, the assembly is protected with a casing. Following recovery, the setup allows for recording local field potentials, providing insights into neuronal...

Diagnostic ultrasound imaging has proven to be effective in diagnosing various respiratory diseases in human and animal subjects. We demonstrate a comprehensive ultrasound protocol utilized by Dr. Zuo's lab to analyze diaphragm kinetics specifically in mouse models. This is also a non-invasive research technique which can provide quantitative information on mouse respiratory muscle function.

Source: Joseph H. Donroe, Rachel Liu; Yale School of Medicine, USA Vascular diseases make up most cases of emergency hospitalization and carry a high mortality risk. Point-of-care ultrasound or POCUS enables accurate diagnosis of these diseases and shortens the time between detection of the cause and selection of appropriate treatment strategies, thus, reducing the patient mortality rate. POCUS offers a safe, low-cost, and less invasive bedside tool for examining arteries and veins, besides its...

Source: Joseph H. Donroe, Rachel Liu; Yale School of Medicine, USA Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is used by clinicians for diagnosis, ongoing monitoring, and/or procedural guidance at the time of patient care. Many medical schools are now teaching POCUS as a part of their basic clinical skills training, in addition to history, physical exams, and clinical reasoning. Besides being an independent skill, POCUS is also an incredibly useful tool for augmenting the teaching and learning of the...
FAQs
The aligned piezoelectric elements both transmit high-frequency sound waves and detect the echoes returning from tissue. Their organized arrangement allows the ultrasound system to construct a rectangular image with detailed information across superficial anatomy. This design supports focused assessment of structures such as vessels, tendons, muscles, and thyroid tissue during bedside evaluation.
Its high-frequency operation supports high-resolution imaging of structures located near the body’s surface. This makes the probe well suited to examining superficial vessels, muscles, tendons, and thyroid tissue, where detailed visualization is important. The resulting images can help clinicians evaluate anatomy dynamically rather than relying only on a static examination.
Returning echoes carry information generated when transmitted sound waves interact with body tissues. The ultrasound system processes those echoes into real-time images, allowing clinicians to observe anatomy as it is being assessed. This dynamic feedback is especially relevant when the probe supports bedside diagnosis, monitoring, or guidance for procedures.
The probe provides nonionizing imaging, so it supports visualization without relying on radiation-based imaging. It can also reduce dependence on more invasive approaches by showing superficial anatomy and procedure targets in real time. In medicine, this combination is valuable when clinicians need bedside information during diagnosis, monitoring, or guided intervention.
During vascular access, clinicians use the probe to visualize blood vessels while performing a bedside procedure. Real-time imaging can connect the intended access with the observed superficial anatomy, rather than requiring reliance solely on external landmarks. The probe’s rectangular, high-resolution view makes it relevant when vessels must be assessed and accessed under visual guidance.
The probe supports several procedure-related applications identified in medicine, including vascular access, biopsies, and regional anesthesia. In each setting, real-time visualization can help clinicians relate the procedure to nearby superficial structures. Its role complements assessment of vessels, muscles, tendons, thyroid tissue, and other anatomy accessible near the body’s surface.
Clinicians can assess superficial blood vessels, muscles, tendons, thyroid tissue, and other near-surface anatomy. Because the ultrasound system produces images in real time, the probe can support both immediate diagnosis and ongoing monitoring. It therefore provides information about anatomy and its procedural relevance at the bedside without using ionizing radiation.
Its combination of nonionizing imaging, superficial high-resolution visualization, and real-time feedback fits bedside clinical work. In regional anesthesia, clinicians can use the imaging approach to support procedure guidance by viewing relevant superficial anatomy while working. More broadly, the probe links diagnostic assessment, monitoring, and intervention without requiring a separate radiation-based imaging pathway.
