Research Interests

  • Ultrasound backscattering analysis and modeling
  • Ultrasound parametric imaging
  • Ultrasound thermal imaging
  • Ultrasound tissue characterization
  • Point-of-care ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging is the first-line tool in clinical diagnosis. Thanks to advances in modern ultrasound systems, we utilize ultrasound RF signals to develop novel computational methods and parametric imaging techniques for improving clinical diagnoses of ultrasound. We also work on ultrasound temperature imaging as a potential solution in monitoring thermal ablation. Integration of the proposed algorithms/software with pocket-size ultrasound machines for a variety of medical applications is also our interest.
