Despite its inception during the World War II era, the field of ultrasound biomedicine has enjoyed an explosion of new diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, driven by advances in materials science, electronics miniaturization, and image processing. This talk will highlight ongoing collaborative research developing ultrasound nano-contrast agents that enable non-invasive and real-time imaging of physiologic phenomena at the single cell level. Current efforts seek to link these materials-enabled advances with innovations in acoustic hardware and image processing approaches to create an Acoustic Medicine consortium that will accelerate ultrasonic life science research across the university.
