2026
Shelf registration is an essential tool for companies to raise capital flexibly and efficiently. It is a provision by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that enables companies to file a single registration for securities they intend to issue over time rather than all at once. This process offers multiple advantages.Flexibility and Convenience: Shelf registration allows companies to issue securities in phases per market conditions and funding needs rather than raising all capital at...

2025
Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) is a recently developed technique that allows for an unprecedented level of resolution in imaging the microvasculature in vivo. In this work, we describe in detail how to obtain super-resolved images of the brain microvasculature in rodents using a standardized functional ultrasound imaging platform designed for preclinical research.

We describe a new ultrasound-based vector tissue Doppler imaging technique to measure muscle contraction velocity, strain and strain rate with sub-millisecond temporal resolution during dynamic activities. This approach provides complementary measurements of dynamic muscle function and could lead to a better understanding of mechanisms underlying musculoskeletal disorders.

Provided here is a practical tutorial for an open-access, standardized image processing pipeline for the purpose of lesion-symptom mapping. A step-by-step walkthrough is provided for each processing step, from manual infarct segmentation on CT/MRI to subsequent registration to standard space, along with practical recommendations and illustrations with exemplary cases.
FAQs
Registration estimates a spatial transformation that maps locations in the ultrasound image to corresponding positions in the MR image. That mapping must account for differences in patient positioning and tissue shape, rather than treating the two datasets as if they were acquired in identical geometries. A reliable transformation provides the coordinate basis for displaying complementary information together during anatomical assessment or intervention.
Tracked probe positions provide an external spatial cue for relating each ultrasound view to the patient’s anatomy in the MR dataset. Identifiable anatomical landmarks and image features offer image-based alternatives when corresponding structures can be recognized. These cues support estimation of the transformation, while their usefulness depends on having reliable correspondences between the two modalities.
Deformable models address shape differences that a single rigid spatial mapping may not capture. By representing tissue or anatomy as capable of changing shape, they can help align images when patient position or tissue configuration differs between acquisitions. This matters in bioengineering because registration must support meaningful anatomical assessment, not merely overlay images.
Ultrasound-MR registration is useful precisely because the modalities contribute different kinds of information. Real-time ultrasound can be linked with the high-resolution anatomical information available in MR, allowing users to interpret one modality in the context of the other. The combined view can improve visualization and reduce dependence on either imaging source alone during assessment or intervention.
A practical workflow uses ultrasound and MR images and identifies correspondence information. Tracked probe positions, anatomical landmarks, or image features can supply that correspondence. The estimated transformation then aligns the datasets, while a deformable model can represent tissue shape differences. The resulting alignment supports combined visualization for anatomical assessment or image-guided intervention.
In bioengineering, ultrasound-MR registration supports image-guided procedures, tissue characterization, surgical navigation, and validation of ultrasound-based measurements against MR anatomy. Its value is greatest when researchers need real-time ultrasound information but also require anatomical context from MR. This multimodal approach can connect measurement, visualization, and procedural guidance within one spatial framework.
The main outcome is a spatially aligned representation in which ultrasound findings can be interpreted alongside corresponding MR anatomy. This can support more accurate anatomical assessment, guide interventions, and provide a basis for comparing ultrasound-based measurements with MR-defined structures. In research, that comparison is especially relevant for evaluating how well ultrasound measurements reflect anatomy represented by a higher-resolution imaging dataset.
