Latest developments in ultrasound technology expand precision medicine using high-resolution imaging that adapts to patients’ size and personal characteristics, contributing to a more confident diagnosis. Innovative clinical applications like elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) address the BioAcoustic variations of each patient, such as tissue density, stiffness, and attenuation. Non-invasive elastography ultrasound imaging allows clinicians to assess tissue by visualizing shear wave speed, a parameter correlated with tissue stiffness which can correlate to chronic disease progression. Latest advancements in contrast- enhanced ultrasound enable improved visualization and assessment of lesions with increased sensitivity and penetration.
