Royston\, Ph.D.\, Professor and Head\, Department of Bi oengineering\, University of Illinois at Chicago CREATED:20111219T110000Z DESCRIPTION:Title: Sonic Imaging: New Acoustic Paradigms in Medical Diagn osisAbstract: Novel sonic imaging techniques for medical diagnosis are b eing developed in the Acoustics & Vibrations Laboratory of Professor Tho mas J. Royston in collaboration with other engineering and medical resea rchers in Chicago. These techniques use audible frequency sound (not ult rasound)\, either by itself\, such as in multi-sensor measurement of the transmission of sounds in the lung\, or to provide enhanced and quantit ative contrast within another medical imaging technique. For example\, i n microscopic magnetic resonance elastography ('MRE)\, sonic frequency s hear waves sent through biological tissue are imaged via high field phas e gradient MR to identify anomalies\, such as increased stiffness due to fibrosis or a tumor\, which locally alters shear wave motion. This tech nique can also be used to noninvasively track the development of enginee red tissues\, including chondrogenic\, adipogenic and osteogenic. In thi s talk\, I review our NIH-funded progress to date in developing high res olution MRE and I introduce The Audible Human Project'\, an NIH-funded endeavor to develop and validate a comprehensive understanding and simul ation model for sound generation and transmission throughout the pulmona ry system and torso.Biography: Thomas J. Royston\, Professor and Head o f the Dept. of Bioengineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago\, received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Ohio State in 1995. His research interests are in the area of structural acoustics\, with appli cations in medical diagnostics including high-field MR elastography and lung acoustics. He is a recipient of the Acoustical Society of America's R. Bruce Lindsay Award. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mecha nical Engineers (ASME) and serves as Associate Editor for the ASME Journ al of Vibration and Acoustics. He is a recipient of the UIC University S cholar Award.
