Because dissimilar tissues react differently to outside stimuli, each layer will vibrate at its own unique frequency when stimulated. This can be measured and converted into an image by means of ultrasound detectors. Researchers have used light, ultrasound, and RF energy for stimulating, and the results from RF or microwave energy (electromagnetic) have been very exciting. Read More »

Severe Asthma, Meet Bronchial Thermoplasty
Bronchial thermoplasty is a recently-approved outpatient procedure that consists of a single-use catheter and RF controller delivered with a bronchoscope. The treatment uses RF energy to reduce the airways smooth muscle tissue from the lining, thus, decreasing the ability of the airways smooth muscles to constrict. Read More »
