Ultrasound (US) imaging is a widely employed diagnostic tool used for real-time imaging of various organs and tissues using ultrasonic sound waves. The waves are sent into the body, and images are created based on how the waves reflect off internal tissues and organs. It is used for guiding many medical procedures, including biopsies and injections, and is important for dynamic monitoring of blood vessels.
Recently, researchers from Prof. Eran Segal’s laboratory at the Weizmann Institute of Science have harnessed artificial intelligence to create a personalized “digital twin” that allows them to detect a risk of developing diseases, initiate preventive treatment and even run simulations to predict which treatment will be most effective.
