Advanced ultrasonic protein removal technology: set to change how surgical instruments are cleaned

Standard methods of decontamination, such as Disinfector Washers (e.g. using hot alkaline solutions and surfactants), are known to be inconsistently effective in removing protein from surgical instruments. Advanced Ultrasonics offers an exciting and tantalizing alternative. Preliminary results suggest that intense cleaning using “advanced ultrasonic technology” can potentially result in disinfection without the need for any […]

Functional MRI – opening new frontiers in the brain

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is by far the principal method used to investigate the brain’s cortical areas and subcortical structures. fMRI has dramatically transformed perceptions of the human brain, allowing precise delineation of regions associated with a vast range of external stimuli and moods – ranging from depression and anger to laughter and play.  […]

POC tests – market drivers and barriers

Point-of-care (POC) testing consists of diagnostic tests performed in the physical proximity of a patient, with results obtained on site. One useful definition is from the German Society of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, which explains it as “diagnostic testing at or near the site of patient care, with an easy-to-use instrument, under the immediate […]

All-optical ultrasound – rejuvenating an imaging workhorse

One of the most exciting recent developments in imaging consists of all-optical ultrasound. Unlike traditional ultrasound, which is achieved using piezoelectric transducers, optical systems perform ultrasonic generation via pulsed light. This is followed by optical reception of ultrasonic reflections from the tissue which is being imaged. Reducing the need for trade-offThough ultrasound is one of […]
