Morphological Image Processing for Multiscale Analysis of Super-Resolution Ultrasound Images of Tissue Microvascular Networks
(SPIE-Int Soc Optical Engineering, 2019-03-15)Diabetes is a major disease and known to impair microvascular recruitment due to insulin resistance. Previous quantifications of the changes in microvascular networks at the capillary level were being performed with either ... -
Deep 3D Convolutional Neural Networks for Fast Super-Resolution Ultrasound Imaging
(SPIE, 2019-03-15)Super-resolution ultrasound imaging (SR-US) is a new technique which breaks the diffraction limit and can help visualize microvascularity at a resolution of tens of microns. However, image processing methods for spatiotemporal ... -
Pentagalloyl Glucose and Its Functional Role in Vascular Health: Biomechanics and Drug-Delivery Characteristics
(Springer, 2018-10-08)Pentagalloyl glucose (PGG) is an elastin-stabilizing polyphenolic compound that has significant biomedical benefits, such as being a free radical sink, an anti-inflammatory agent, anti-diabetic agent, enzymatic resistant ... -
Impact of Hydrostatic Pressure on Phase-Change Contrast Agent Activation by Pulsed Ultrasound
(Acoustical Society of America, 2019-06-14)A phase-change contrast agent (PCCA) can be activated from a liquid (nanodroplet) state using pulsed ultrasound (US) energy to form a larger highly echogenic microbubble (MB). PCCA activation is dependent on the ambient ... -
Monitoring Early Breast Cancer Response To Neoadjuvant Therapy Using H-Scan Ultrasound Imaging: Preliminary Preclinical Results
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2019-04-17)Objective—H-scan imaging is a new ultrasound technique used to visualize the relative size of acoustic scatterers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of H-scan ultrasound imaging for monitoring early tumor ... -
Hyposialylated IgG Activates Endothelial IgG Receptor FcγRIIB to Promote Obesity-Induced Insulin Resistance
(American Society for Clinical Investigation, 2018-11-05)Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common complication of obesity. Here, we have shown that activation of the IgG receptor FcγRIIB in endothelium by hyposialylated IgG plays an important role in obesity-induced insulin ... -
Spatial Angular Compounding Technique for H-Scan Ultrasound Imaging.
(2018-10-22)H-Scan is a new ultrasound imaging technique that relies on matching a model of pulse-echo formation to the mathematics of a class of Gaussian-weighted Hermite polynomials. This technique may be beneficial in the measurement ... -
Novel Method for the Formation of Monodisperse Superheated Perfluorocarbon Nanodroplets as Activatable Ultrasound Contrast Agents
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-08-20)Microbubble (MB) contrast agents have positively impacted the clinical ultrasound (US) community worldwide. Their use in molecular US imaging applications has been hindered by their limited distribution to the vascular ...
