On Thursday, July 11th, the UR SPIE student chapter will be continuing its annual Summer Colloquium series.
Who: Himanshu Shekhar
What: The temporal evolution of nonlinear emissions from ultrasound contrast agents: implications for imaging and therapy.
Date: 07/11/2013
Time: 11:30 am – 12:30 pm
Where: Sloan Auditorium (Goergen 101)
Encapsulated microbubbles are routinely used clinically as ultrasound contrast agents (UCA). Currently, UCAs are under investigation for several diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Ultrasound contrast agents undergo volumetric oscillations in response to ultrasonic excitation. Their nonlinear oscillations are critical for imaging and therapeutic applications; therefore, it should be characterized accurately. In this talk, I will discuss our recent findings regarding changes in the nonlinear response of UCA over timescales that are relevant for imaging and therapy.
Bring your lunch! Snacks and beverages will be provided.
