Article Synopsis
- Developed a 3-D acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) system for prostate imaging to identify cancerous regions and guide biopsies in one visit using a transrectal probe and 3-D visualization software.
- The system was tested in a clinical trial comparing ARFI-guided targeted transperineal biopsies with other standard biopsy methods.
- Results showed ARFI was less effective for lower-grade cancers but performed well for higher-grade cancers, suggesting it could enhance biopsy accuracy when combined with 2-D imaging techniques.
Multispecies microbial communities drive most ecosystems on Earth. Chemical and biological interactions within these communities can affect the survival of individual members and the entire community. However, the prohibitively high number of possible interactions within a microbial community has made the characterization of factors that influence community development challenging.
