2022 In Vivo Ultrasound Imaging Gordon Research Conference

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Ultrasound is a ubiquitous clinical imaging modality, which is supported by a dynamic and scholarly research community. There is currently no conference or professional meeting dedicated specifically to basic science ultrasound research with the goal towards improving diagnostic ultrasound. The goal of the proposed Gordon Research Conference (GRC) is to provide an intimate forum for scientific exchange among scientists and researchers whose primary area of research is the development of novel diagnostic ultrasound techniques and approaches. While diagnostic ultrasound has been around for multiple decades, the amount of innovation in recent years has been immense. Ultrasound has evolved in recent years with the advent of ultrafast imaging, super resolution imaging, photoacoustic imaging, artificial intelligence (AI) in imaging, molecular imaging, novel contrast imaging, shear wave imaging, whole body imaging with tomography and quantitative ultrasound techniques. These innovations are indicative of a vibrant and active research community. Therefore, it is vital that this community provide an avenue that allows deeper discussion about the future and direction of in vivo ultrasound imaging and provides engagement of researchers spanning from senior to new and young investigators. The inaugural Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on In Vivo Ultrasound Imaging has the goal of providing this avenue for engaging the basic science, ultrasound research community. Ultimately, the success of this conference will result in a biennial meeting to bring research professionals in the area of ultrasound imaging together to address the latest trends and needs in diagnostic ultrasound. The main goals of the GRC are: 1. to provide an avenue to discuss the latest ground-breaking technologies in diagnostic ultrasound; 2. to stimulate cross-pollination and validation of different approaches for ultrasound imaging; 3. to identify what the needs are for the continuing development of novel ultrasound imaging technologies and where new methods and approaches can be implemented; 4. to promote the work of new and young investigators. The scientific topics of the GRC are focused on ultrasonic imaging and highlight the latest advancements in diagnostic ultrasound, including ultrasound applications in therapy.
