From Anatomy to Functional and Molecular Biomarker Imaging and Therapy: Ultrasound Is Safe, Ultrafast, Portable, and Inexpensive.

ABSTRACT: Ultrasound is the most widely used medical imaging modality worldwide. It is abundant, extremely safe, portable, and inexpensive. In this review, we consider some of the current development trends for ultrasound imaging, which build upon its current strength and the popularity it experiences among medical imaging professional users.Ultrasound has rapidly expanded beyond traditional radiology departments and cardiology practices. Computing power and data processing capabilities of commonly available electronics put ultrasound systems in a lab coat pocket or on a user's mobile phone. Taking advantage of new contributions and discoveries in ultrasound physics, signal processing algorithms, and electronics, the performance of ultrasound systems and transducers have progressed in terms of them
