Imaging, Ultrasonics and Biophotonics
Objective
Our research in imaging and optics takes ultrasound, MRI, and other imaging technologies in new directions which include the treatment and identification of disease and promoting growth. Michigan is an innovator in therapeutic ultrasound. Histotripsy, an extremely high-precision technique that uses ultrasound in non-invasive surgery, was invented here.
What do we do?
- Probing the composition and properties of tissues
- Treating disease
- Stimulating growth
Applications
- Treatment of newborn infants
- Treatment of diseases such as cancer and heart disease
- Diagnosis and non- invasive examination
