Ultrasound: Diagnostic and Interventional

Randy King

Ph.D.

Program Director

This program supports the development and improvement of technologies for diagnostic or therapeutic uses of ultrasound.

The emphasis for diagnostic ultrasound is on:

design, development and construction of transducers, transducer arrays, materials and other hardware
image acquisition and display methods
innovative signal processing methods and devices
optoacoustic and thermoacoustic technology
image-enhancement devices and methods
ultrasound contrast agents
image and data presentation and mapping methods
functional imaging and image fusion.
image guided surgery

The emphasis for therapeutic ultrasound is on:

design, development and construction of transducers, transducer arrays and other hardware
interventional technologies
adjunct enhancement of non-ultrasound therapy applications
high-intensity and low-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU/LIFU)
hyperthermia applications
non-invasive or minimally invasive interventional surgical or therapy tools
ultrasound contrast agents for therapy
targeted drug delivery
neuromodulation
biopsy
other interventions
