“… 19 In 1826, Jean-Daniel Colladon calculated the speed of sound in water estimating close to the currently known value of 1,482 m/s. 20 The Doppler effect, first postulated in 1842 by Christian Doppler, is an essential part of almost every US study and forms the basis of US evaluation of blood flow. Next the Curie brothers discovered piezoelectricity.…”

“…Another example, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), appeared in the early history of US. First proposed by Lynn et al in 1942, 20 , 21 HIFU guided by real-time imaging uses an external beam of therapeutic US to focally heat and ablate targeted tissues without damaging the surrounding normal tissue. The result of HIFU is irreversible coagulation necrosis and mechanical damage through cavitation.…”

Today medical imaging is an essential component of the entire health-care continuum, from wellness and screening, to early diagnosis, treatment selection, and follow-up. Patient triage in both acute care and chronic disease, imaging-guided interventions, and optimization of treatment planning are now integrated into routine clinical practice in all subspecialties. This paper provides a brief review of major milestones in medical imaging from its inception to date, with a few considerations regarding future directions in this important field.

Modern liver ultrasonography (US) has become a “one-stop shop” able to provide not only anatomic and morphologic but also functional information about vascularity, stiffness and other various liver tissue properties. Modern US techniques allow a quantitative assessment of various liver diseases. US scanning is no more limited to the visualized plane, but three-dimensional, volumetric acquisition and consequent post-processing are also possible. Further, US scan can be consistently merged and visualized in real time with Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging examinations. Effective and safe microbubble-based contrast agents allow a real time, dynamic study of contrast kinetic for the detection and characterization of focal liver lesions. Ultrasound can be used to guide loco-regional treatment of liver malignancies and to assess tumoral response either to interventional procedures or medical therapies. Microbubbles may also carry and deliver drugs under ultrasound exposure. US plays a crucial role in diagnosing, treating and monitoring focal and diffuse liver disease. On the basis of personal experience and literature data, this paper is aimed to review the main topics involving recent advances in the field of liver ultrasound.

“…Recently, preclinical studies have suggested that low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) may increase rates of spinal fusion 14 . The effect of ultrasound, defined as frequencies above the human threshold of hearing (≥20 kHz), on bone growth has been investigated since the 1940s 15,16 . Preliminary work demonstrated that where low‐intensity impulses stimulated bone growth, higher intensities halted growth or produced irreversible thermal damage, although the latter could be mitigated through the use of pulsed versus continuous stimuli 17–20 .…”

Despite extensive research, nonunion continues to affect a nontrivial proportion of patients undergoing spinal fusion. Recently, preclinical studies have suggested that low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) may increase rates of spinal fusion. In this study, we summarized the available in vivo literature evaluating the effect of LIPUS on spinal fusion and performed a meta‐analysis of the available data to estimate the degree to which LIPUS may mediate higher fusion rates. Across 13 preclinical studies, LIPUS was associated with a 9‐fold increase in the odds of successful spinal fusion. Future studies are necessary to establish the benefit of LIPUS on spinal fusion in clinical populations.
