Understanding key differences between conventional and functional ultrasound

https://www.news-medical.net/whitepaper/20260106/Understanding-key-differences-between-conventional-and-functional-ultrasound.aspx Conventional ultrasound (cUS) and functional ultrasound (fUS) both utilize megahertz-level sound waves to image inside the body; however, beyond this, the similarities end. This article aims to clarify the differences between the two techniques by examining the underlying technology. We then discuss the unique advantages of fUS compared to cUS and conclude with an explanation of why this makes fUS an ideal choice for functional imaging of blood flow in the brain.
