Research
Functional imaging of early cancer
Ultrasound shear-wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) can measure tissue elasticity noninvasively and quantitatively.
Our group seeks to achieve improved diagnostic outcomes for SWEI and other functional imaging techniques by novel signal processing and system design.
Multi-modal imaging: Combined laser, ultrasound, and elasticity (CLUE) imaging
Multi-modal imaging offers an unique opportunity to understand a complex diesease like cancer in a comprehensive way.
Our group investigates ultrasound/light-based 2-D and 3-D multi-modal imaging to bring innovations in medical imaging systems.
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)
Cancer therapy can be safe, noninvasive and effective with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), as HIFU can selectively and noninvasively ablate tumors.
We focus on the developement of HIFU technologies for real-time guidance and effective cancer therapy.
Deep Learning-Driven Speed of Sound Correction
Speed of sound (SoS) correction enhances ultrasound image quality by improving accuracy in wave propagation modeling.
Our group demonstrates in vivo SoS estimation and image quality improvement, with ongoing work in multiparameter estimation to further refine imaging performance.
High-resolution Ultrasound Imaging
Optimal imaging for accurate, reliable diagnosis
Optimal imaging enhances diagnostic accuracy and reliability.
Our group develops plane-wave pixel-based synthetic focusing, demonstrating in vivo image quality improvement and conducting ongoing research on ultrasound-histology correlation.
Diagnostic image with optimal spatial and contrast resolution
Optimizing spatial and contrast resolution enhances diagnostic imaging quality.
Our group develops beamforming technology without limitations on the number of plane-wave angles, demonstrating its effectiveness in vitro and in vivo while enabling wide field-of-view imaging.
Brain Elastography
Comprehensive brain imaging supports both diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
We focuses on brain tumor treatment monitoring through (2D/3D) shear wave elastography imaging.
Therapeutic Ultrasound - Truly Theranostic Device
A theranostic ultrasound system enables both diagnosis and treatment for osteoarthritis.
We develops a system capable of applying diagnostic and therapeutic pulses with varying amplitudes, frequencies, and pulse durations.
