| Description | We have developed methodologies and system for acquiring contrast enhanced ultrasound images at frame rates 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than existing technologies; - We have developed image tracking techniques for mapping arterial flow velocities - We have developed methodologies for quantifying tissue perfusion/microcirculation - We have demonstrated the applications of the above developed technologies in vivo. These technologies have great potential in improved diagnosis and patient management of a wide range of diseases including cardiovascular diseases and cancer. |
| Exploitation Route | We are currently working with clinicians to evaluate the technologies on patients. If successful the technologies could change current clinical practice. |
