Article Abstract

Standing waves are a phenomenon of uncertain etiology seen on imaging. We present the first case demonstrating standing waves on computed tomography angiography in multiple vessels in a single patient with imaging evidence of resolution in some of the vessels. Our case further supports the literature that standing waves are a physiologic phenomenon, likely because of flow mechanics, rather than modality.

In recent years, various devices utilizing surface acoustic waves (SAW) have emerged as powerful tools for manipulating particles and fluids in microchannels. Although they demonstrate a wide range of functionalities across diverse applications, existing devices still face limitations in flexibility, manipulation efficiency, and spatial resolution. In this study, we developed a dual-sided standing surface acoustic wave (SSAW) device that simultaneously excites acoustic waves through two piezoelectric substrates positioned at the top and bottom of a microchannel.

Traditionally, mechanical bending tests are used to measure the stiffness of lumber, which is generally represented by the static modulus of elasticity (MoE). However, it is desirable to measure the stiffness of wood before it is processed into lumber. Acoustic nondestructive testing techniques are therefore the main techniques used by the wood industry to estimate the dynamic MoE of wood.
