Professor Chih-Chung Huang visited our research lab Tuesday 14th February to speak about his research in the field of ultrasound.
Professor Huang’s work at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan includes development of both hardware and software for ultrasound systems and their use in high-frequency ultrasound Doppler, elastography, B-mode imaging and wearable technology. Our researchers were eager to hear about his many research projects and the opportunity to talk about their own.
The following day, Professor Huang gave a broader seminar to the Centre for Biomedical Technologies at Kelvin Grove. He spoke about the ultrafast, high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) imaging combining a high frequency array transducer (~40 MHz) with programmable ultrasound imaging. Due to the high imaging resolution ability of HFUS, this ultrafast HFUS imaging is suitable for superficial tissue imaging of human and small animal for gene research and cancer studies. Therefore, high-resolution ultrasound elastography and super resolution blood flow imaging without micro-bubble are currently available for biomedical applications, such as high resolution elastography for human cornea, skin, hand tendon, and mouse brain as well as super resolution blood flow imaging for small animal applications in nerve, brain, heart, and kidney.
Thank you Professor Huang!
