Recent advances in ultrasound contrast agents and elastography offer significant promise in enhancing the diagnostic capabilities of ultrasound imaging as well as offering new, noninvasive approaches for therapeutic intervention. This session will provide an overview of current and future clinical diagnostic applications of ultrasound contrast and elastography.
The presentations associated with this session include: 1) the coherent flow Power Doppler technique, which is coherence imaging technique based on the short-lag spatial coherence (SLSC) beamformer, as a potential solution to the inadequate and suboptimal visualization problem in difficult-to-image patients; 2) the technology of using oxygen-filled, ultrasound sensitive microbubbles for locally delivering oxygen and sensitizing tissue to radiation in a breast-cancer model; and 3) super-resolution ultrasound imaging concept and a series of preclinical examples highlighting the potential of this new technology in cancer and diabetes research.
Learning Objectives:
1. Learn new technologies associated with contrast enhanced ultrasound image formation and volume imaging.
2. Understand ultrasound elastography technologies for quantitative assessment of tissue mechanical properties.
3. Understand super-resolution ultrasound which is a new imaging modality that defies the diffraction limit of the imager.
