"Enhanced visualization of ultrasound contrast agents using normalized singular spectrum area and singular value thresholding"
Elizabeth Herbst has won a poster award at the annual European Symposium on Ultrasound Contrast Imaging, a top level inernational meeting in the field of ultrasound contrast. Her presentation for was chosen among a group of 16 presenters in ultrasound contrast imaging. Co-authors on the work include Dr. John Hossack, Dr. F. William Mauldin, and Dr. Alexander Klibanov.
Elizabeth's project in ultrasound molecular imaging utilizes singular value decomposition-based signal processing techniques to automatically segment and identify ultrasound contrast agent signals based on their unique spatiotemporal signatures. This innovative filtering technique has the potential to improve the visualization of cancer and other vascular diseases in future clinical settings.
