About

Magnetomotoric ultrasound, combines conventional ultrasound with a time-varying magnetic field. The aim is to improve diagnosis of mesolectal lymph nodes.

Full description

Magnetomotoric ultrasound, combines conventional ultrasound with a time-varying magnetic field. Nanoparticles are injected close to the rectal cancer and migrate to adjacent lymph nodes.The time-varying magnetic field will influence the nano particles in the lymph node enhancing diagnosis of affected lymph nodes. The aim is to improve diagnosis of mesolectal lymph nodes and compare the results of magnetomotoric ultrasound with MRI and final histopathology.
