SIGNIFICANCE: In circular scanning photoacoustic tomography (PAT), it takes several minutes to generate an image of acceptable quality, especially with a single-element ultrasound transducer (UST). The imaging speed can be enhanced by faster scanning...
Robotic prostheses and powered exoskeletons are novel assistive robotic devices for modern medicine. Muscle activity sensing plays an important role in controlling assistive robotics devices. Most devices measure the surface electromyography (sEMG) s...

OBJECTIVE: In this paper, we focus on the carrying out and validation of minimally invasive three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) imaging of the auditory system, which is based on a new miniaturized endoscopic 2D US transducer.
With the huge progress in micro-electronics and artificial intelligence, the ultrasound probe has become the bottleneck in further adoption of ultrasound beyond the clinical setting (e.g. home and monitoring applications). Today, ultrasound transduce...

Lung diseases contribute significantly to global mortality rates. The conventional diagnostic techniques based on medical imaging used for lung disease diagnosis normally require specialized personnel and complex infrastructure, posing challenges in ...
Innovative intraoral ultrasound devices with smart artificial intelligence-based identification for dento-anatomy could provide crucial information for oral health diagnosis and treatment and shed light on real-time detection of developmental dentist...
Micro-sensors, such as pressure and flow sensors, are usually adopted to attain actual fluid information around swimming biomimetic robotic fish for hydrodynamic analysis and control. However, most of the reported micro-sensors are mounted discretely...
Acoustic trap, using ultrasound interference to ensnare bioparticles, has emerged as a versatile tool for life sciences due to its non-invasive nature. Bolstered by magnetic resonance imaging's advances in sensing acoustic interference and tracking d...
