Artery

An artery is a blood vessel in humans and most other animals that takes oxygenated blood away from the heart in the systemic circulation to one or more parts of the body.

See 3D ultrasound and Artery

Beam steering

Beam steering is a technique for changing the direction of the main lobe of a radiation pattern.

See 3D ultrasound and Beam steering

Cancer treatment

Cancer treatments are a wide range of treatments available for the many different types of cancer, with each cancer type needing its own specific treatment.

See 3D ultrasound and Cancer treatment

Cavitation

Cavitation in fluid mechanics and engineering normally refers to the phenomenon in which the static pressure of a liquid reduces to below the liquid's vapour pressure, leading to the formation of small vapor-filled cavities in the liquid.

See 3D ultrasound and Cavitation

General Electric

General Electric Company (GE) was an American multinational conglomerate founded in 1892, incorporated in the state of New York and headquartered in Boston.

See 3D ultrasound and General Electric

Medical ultrasound

Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. 3D ultrasound and Medical ultrasound are medical ultrasonography.

See 3D ultrasound and Medical ultrasound

Organ transplantation

Organ transplantation is a medical procedure in which an organ is removed from one body and placed in the body of a recipient, to replace a damaged or missing organ.

See 3D ultrasound and Organ transplantation

Sonographer

A sonographer is an allied healthcare professional who specializes in the use of ultrasonic imaging devices to produce diagnostic images, scans, videos or three-dimensional volumes of anatomy and diagnostic data. 3D ultrasound and sonographer are medical ultrasonography.

See 3D ultrasound and Sonographer

Surgery

Surgery is a medical specialty that uses manual and instrumental techniques to diagnose or treat pathological conditions (e.g., trauma, disease, injury, malignancy), to alter bodily functions (i.e., malabsorption created by bariatric surgery such as gastric bypass), to reconstruct or improve aesthetics and appearance (cosmetic surgery), or to remove unwanted tissues (body fat, glands, scars or skin tags) or foreign bodies.

See 3D ultrasound and Surgery

Volume rendering

In scientific visualization and computer graphics, volume rendering is a set of techniques used to display a 2D projection of a 3D discretely sampled data set, typically a 3D scalar field.
