Title: Enhancing Ultrasound Imaging Through Transducer Hardware and System Design
Abstract: In recent years, several new ultrasound-based imaging methods have been developed, mostly within the limitations of existing transducer array probe and system technology. Our research aims to further advance the field of ultrasound by creating novel transducer arrays and systems, to enable unique signal acquisition and processing approaches toward practical clinical applications. In this talk, we discuss current and future projects related to transcranial Doppler and super-resolution 3D functional brain imaging; catheter devices for intravascular shear wave elastography of coronary plaques; and full-waveform inversion (aided by neural networks) and scalable 2D matrix array transducer modules (using additive manufacturing) as part of a quantitative 3D ultrasound body scanner.
Carl Herickhoff is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering and UMRF Research Professor at the University of Memphis. He earned a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University (advisor: Dr. Stephen W. Smith) in 2011, and then worked on the Advanced Transducer R&D team at Philips Healthcare for 2.5 years before returning to academia to work with Dr. Jeremy Dahl at Duke and Stanford University. Dr. Herickhoff joined the University of Memphis Biomedical Engineering department as faculty in 2020, where he has established an ultrasound imaging and instrumentation research lab now consisting of 5 graduate students and 3 undergraduates. Dr. Herickhoff was awarded NSF CAREER and NIH R15 grants in 2023, and his trainees have been awarded multi-year fellowships from the Acoustical Society of America and the GEM Consortium. He is a co-inventor on an issued patent and his publications have been cited over 250 times in the past 5 years.
