Objectives: Shear-wave elastography (SWE) provides valuable stiffness within breast masses, making it a useful supplement to conventional ultrasound imaging. Super-resolution ultrasound (SRUS) imaging enhances microvascular visualization, aiding in the differential diagnosis of breast masses. Current clinical ultrasound diagnosis of breast cancer primarily relies on gray-scale ultrasound.

Postmortem interval (PMI) estimation, a parameter critical for solving criminal cases, remains a challenge. It has been suggested that elasticity of decomposing tissue may show a relationship to PMI. We measured elasticity of excised porcine skin at regular intervals for 17 days using a novel ultrasound device.

Breast lymphedema is a common sequela of breast conservation that delays healing and reduces quality of life. No rigorous classification system exists for this condition. We explored approaches for classifying breast lymph-edema based on breast ultrasound, physical exam, and patient-reported outcomes.

Functional coronary angiography (FCA) is a novel modality for assessing the physiology of coronary lesions, going beyond anatomical visualization by traditional coronary angiography. FCA incorporates indices like fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (IFR), which utilize pressure measurements across coronary stenoses to evaluate hemodynamic impacts and to guide revascularization strategies. In this review, we present traditional and evolving modalities and uses of FCA.
