New Hand-held Ultrasound Scanner

NIH funded research resulted in the development of the Vscan, a palm-sized ultrasound scanner with color-flow Doppler that can quickly identify blood flow or heart problems. It can be used at the bedside, in an ambulance, or in low resource settings and is currently being sold in 100 countries.

Replacing Biopsies with Sound

Research funded by the NIH at the Mayo Clinic has resulted in a new, noninvasive way to diagnose liver fibrosis. Using a new technique developed by Richard Ehman, Ph.D called MR Elastography which uses sound waves to determine tissue firmness, doctors are able to see inside the liver without biopsies.

How Does a CT Scan Work?

NIBIB's 60 Seconds of Science explains how CT scans work.

CT images are more detailed than conventional x-ray images. Image slices that CT scans produce can be 2 or 3 dimensional and can reveal abnormal structures or help the physician plan and monitor treatments.
