Summary

Multidimensional echocardiographic imaging of cardiovascular morphology and quantitative analysis of left ventricular function

The main goal is detection of early stages of cardiovascular disease using state of the art ultrasound technologies. This translational research includes both experimental and clinical studies.

The main focus is on the development of 1) computer methods for analysis of structure, function, and flow patterns in the cardiovascular system; these studies involve parametric models of the left ventricle and multidimensional scans of the heart and vessels by echocardiography; and 2)advanced applications in contrast echocardiography to assess microbubble responses to ultrasound energies; studies involve development of techniques for detection and quantitation of myocardial perfusion in the heart under conditions of signal attenuation.
