Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the performance of cardiac shear wave imaging using a new MACH 30 ultrasound machine and compared it to a validated Aixplorer system, focusing on accuracy and measurement consistency.
- The results showed that both systems had similar accuracy for linear probes, with measurements influenced by the stiffness of the target and position in the field of view, but without significant time drift.
- The MACH 30 system performed best at depths of 4 to 10 cm, providing reliable stiffness measurements, suggesting potential applications for future in vivo studies.
Introduction: The authors of the international task force about the management of Dyspnoea recommend assessing sensory and affective components of dyspnoea. The Dyspnoea-12 questionnaire (D-12) allows to assess both components of dyspnoea. D-12 is valid and reliable but its sensitivity to pulmonary rehabilitation was not studied.

In this study, a robot-assisted US-navigation platform has been developed for 3D US guidance and planning of conformal HIFU ablations. The platform was used to evaluate a conformal therapeutic strategy associated with an interstitial dual-mode USgHIFU catheter prototype (64 elements linear-array, measured central frequency f = 6.
