Ultrasonic Visualization And Stimulation Of Classical Oriental Acupuncture Points - Joie P. Jones, PhD and Young K. Bae, PhD - We discovered that the classical acupuncture points correspond to regions of enhanced elasticity (increased ultrasonic attenuation) and that these regions of altered acoustical properties can change in size, shape, and even location in short periods of time. Quantitative ultrasonic methods were used to image the acupoints, and ultrasonic pulses with higher energies than used for imaging were employed to stimulate the acupoints. Ultrasonic stimulation elicited a response identical to that produced by conventional acupuncture needles as confirmed by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Our findings identify an integrative method for locating and stimulating acupuncture points with greater accuracy, and provide a possible explanation for the varying efficacy found in some clinical studies of acupuncture.
