Ultrasound in Neuroscience: Sensing, Imaging, Modulation, and/or Therapy

Tuesday, April 9, 2024
9:00am – 10:30am  
Location:400-402
CE: 1.5

Traditionally, ultrasound has not been used in the brain due to the challenges of the skull. However, advances in novel imaging and therapy applications has broken through this barrier. This education session will explore the wide array of clinical applications now available and new applications being investigated in pre-clinical and clinical studies.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe examples of ultrasound imaging applications in the brain.
  • Describe examples of non-imaging ultrasound applications in the brain.
  • Understand the physical, engineering, and practical challenges associated with using ultrasound in the brain.

Presentations:

  • 9:00am – 9:25am  
    Neonatal Brain Microvascular Imaging

    Misun Hwang, MD MS (she/her/hers) – Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

  • 9:25am – 9:50am  
    Towards Precision Neurointervention: Ultrasound advances for functional imaging and targeted neuromodulation

    Tommaso Di Ianni, PhD – University of California, San Francisco

  • 9:50am – 10:15am  
    Breaking the Barriers: Transforming the molecular diagnosis of brain diseases through ultrasound

    Hong Chen, PhD (she/her/hers) – Washington University in St. Louis
