Our laboratory's research focus is the development of novel elasticity imaging techniques, quantitative ultrasound and clinical applications based on these approaches. We have developed elasticity imaging techniques for monitoring minimally invasive ablative therapies, shear wave imaging, normal and shear strain estimation with beam steered data, vulnerable plaque characterization, arterial stiffness measurements, cardiac elastography, uterine and cervical strain imaging and parametric imaging of quantitative ultrasound features.
