While medical centres use ultrasound daily, so far this technology is not capable of observing body tissues at the scale of cells. Physicists from the University of Technology Delft (The Netherlands) have developed a microscopy technique based on ultrasound to reveal capillaries and cells across living organs—something that wasn’t possible before. The research is now published in Science.While medical centres use ultrasound daily, so far this technology is not capable of observing body tissues at the scale of cells.

A new method assesses and improves the reliability of radiologists’ diagnostic reports. The framework helps clinicians choose terms that more accurately reflect the likelihood that certain conditions are present in X-rays.
