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.
