Clinical Trial of Rice-Based Ultrasound Gel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rice-based gel is intended to be a coupling agent for usage in ultrasonic application, which made from blending of rice starch powder, sodium hydroxide, carboxymethyl cellulose, glycerin, and water. In this study we test the products for safety and efficacy in 100 patients, by four physicians. The imaging results revealed that, when compared with standard ultrasound gel, rice gel can produce equal clearness but with better echogenicity. So, rice-based ultrasound gel should be an alternative choice for general hospitals.
