Senior Investigator Research Interests
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
