  • Illustration showing a process using ultrasound to dissolve blood clots. Left side depicts a sequence where ultrasound waves target a clot surrounded by bubbles, ultimately showing clear blood vessels. Right side features an ultrasound probe on a chest, with blood vessel illustration showing nanoparticles interacting with red blood cells and a molecular close-up.

    Diagnostic and Therapeutic Uses of Microbubble Cavitation

    We investigate the role of ultrasound contrast agents for cardiovascular diagnostic imaging, and how these contrast agents can be used to treat problems like catheter-related thrombosis or vasospasm.

  • Various data charts and graphs on a black background, featuring bar charts, line graphs, and numerical data tables displayed in neon colors.

    Artificial Intelligence Modeling and Precision Phenotyping

    We work on artificial intelligence algorithms for precision phenotyping and clinical trial design, and in the deployment and evaluation of those models in patient care settings.

  • Diagram of a spiral CT scan with cross-sectional images shown on the left. The main figure features a wireframe cone with overlapping red spirals and green lines, illustrating slices of the scan.

    Clinical Applications of New Imaging Technology

    We study ways that new imaging technology can benefit patients with cardiovascular disease through precise assessment of myocardial function to provide accurate cardiac prognosis.

    Systems of Cardiovascular Care

    We examine the processes involved in cardiovascular care, including provider practices, diagnostic tests and treatment options, all within the context of a healthcare system.

    Right Heart Function

    We explore methods to reveal the changes of right heart remodeling, discover imaging “biomarkers”, and to establish therapeutic targets for improving right heart function.
