Research Interests

Representative research applications include:

  • 3D imaging for structural cardiac defects
  • Strain imaging for ventricular function
  • Contrast imaging for left ventricular size, function, and evaluation of intracardiac abnormalities
  • Contrast perfusion imaging of myocardium and skeletal muscle for the evaluation of microvascular flow
  • Protocol-specific imaging of patients with mitral regurgitation to evaluate newer methods for quantitation of regurgitation severity
