Abstract:
Ultrasonography (renamed from the Journal of Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine in January 2014), the official English-language journal of the Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine (KSUM), is an international peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to practice, research, technology, and education dealing with medical ultrasound, Aims and Scope:Ultrasonography (renamed from the Journal of Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine in January 2014), the official English-language journal of the Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine (KSUM), is an international peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to practice, research, technology, and education dealing with medical ultrasound.It is published four times per year: January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. Original articles, topical reviews, pictorial essays, and notable case reports are published in Ultrasonography covering state-of-the-art content. Ultrasonography also serves as a medium for cooperation among physicians and specialists from around the world who are focusing on various ultrasound technology and disease problems.Keywords:

Objective To explore the value of three-dimensional ultrasound surface imaging in the diagnosis of carotid atherosclerotic plaques.Methods 325 patients that might have carotid atherosclerotic were collected from our hospital from July,2009 to June,2013.Firstly,thev were scanned by two-dimensional ultrasound,then three-dimensional ultrasound surface imaging.The results of the two methods were compared.Results 658 plaques were found in 261 patients by two-dimensional ultrasound,while 786 plaques in 283 patients by three-dimensional ultrasound,with a statistical difference(P ＜ 0.05).Three-dimensional ultrasound was more sensitive in detecting soft plaques than two-dimensional ultrasound (29.01％ vs.22.34％,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Three-dimensional ultrasound surface imaging has good image post-processing and a three-dimensional view of the nidus,so it has clearer image and provide more diagnosis information.

Ultrasound imaging has been utilized as a useful diagnostic tool in medicine and biology. It can offer real-time, non-radiative, and functional imaging in the visualization of internal body structures. In particular, various ultrasound techniques have been applied to diagnose skin diseases in dermatology. In this chapter, after the basic principles of ultrasound are introduced, ultrasound imaging systems, including ultrasound transducers, are demonstrated. Also, various applications of current ultrasound imaging techniques such as high-frequency ultrasound, ultrasound elastographic, and quantitative ultrasound imaging in the diagnosis of skin lesions are demonstrated in detail.

Two cost-efficient systems were designed and demonstrated for reconstructing ultrasound wave propagation and interference and for understanding the principles of ultrasound imaging and microbubble-enhanced ultrasound imaging. One of the systems was based on a needle hydrophone that was mechanically scanned in an ultrasound focal zone, and the other system was based on a metal wire or needle, with a small diameter, that was translated in an ultrasound focal zone. The advantages and disadvantages of both methods were discussed. These systems are useful for students, educators, and researchers for investigating ultrasound wave properties and understanding ultrasound imaging principles when the budget is limited.
