Research

Led by Prof. Elisa Konofagou, the Ultrasound Elasticity and Imaging Laboratory works on developing novel, ultrasound-based techniques for both imaging and therapeutic applications. Some of the ongoing research in the UEIL includes:- Enabling targeted drug delivery to the brain by opening the blood-brain barrier with focused ultrasound.- Mapping the mechanical and electromechanical properties of the heart using myocardial elastography and electromechanical wave imaging.- Monitoring High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) ablation therapy with harmonic motion imaging.- Using pulse wave imaging to quantify the stiffness of the arterial wall and assess the likelihood of an aneurysm rupturing.- Modulating neural activity in the central and peripheral nervous system through high-intensity focused ultrasound.
