Could ultrasound be the next portable stroke detection device?
OTHER • 14m
The lecture is for sonographers, sonographers-in-training, and other health professionals with an interest in ultrasonography for portable stroke diagnosis.
At the conclusion of this lecture, the audience should have better understanding of:
- Ultrasonography for prehospital large vessel occlusion detection in acute ischaemic stroke
- Wearable ultrasound devices and role in stroke detection
- Transcranial ultrasound microscopy – the future of cerebrovascular imaging?

Microbubbles in therapeutic ultrasound
Microbubbles have been developed as ultrasound contrast agents as an emulsion of stabilized gas bubbles that can be injected systemically and circulate throughout the body. Contrast between vascular structures and other tissues is due to the high echogenicity of the bubbles and the significantly ...

Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) and Shear Wave Elasticity Imaging (SWEI) have been shown to have value in quantifying the stiffness of skin in sclerotic disease processes, such as morphea and Graph-Versus-Host-Disease (GVHD). Quantifying the stiffness of sclerotic skin can have clinical v...

A limitation of microbubbles for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications is their relatively rapid clearance times, typically < 10 minutes. One solution to this is to use nanoscale droplets of volatile liquids that can be converted into microbubbles upon exposure to ultrasound. Their small s...
