 Currently I am working on the artifact-free reconstruction of ultrasound imaging information. Spatial variations of attenuation across tissue layers can result in shadowing and enhancement artifacts in ultrasound B-scan images. These artifacts hide underlying echo signals that are truly clinically indicative of diseases and tumors. Current procedures for medical image processing make assumptions or idealizations that, in reality, lead to either creation of artifacts or losses in image quality.
 Our goal is to research novel computerized methods, and develop innovative, effective and robust technologies that will help increase the accessibility and accuracy of clinically-meaningful information embedded in the complex data, in order to improve the healthcare outcome for more people at reduced cost.
