Photoacoustic Imaging from Mice to Men: Applications, Challenges and Capabilities

The Department of Medical Imaging is pleased to have Russ Witte, PhD, presenting at our Grand Rounds on Monday, February 15th, at 12:10 pm in COM, Room 2117. 

Dr. Witte is an Associate Professor of Medical Imaging, Optical Sciences, and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Arizona. To overcome limitations with traditional ultrasound imaging, which typically exhibits poor contrast in soft tissue, his experimental ultrasound laboratory devises and tests novel contrast mechanisms that integrate ultrasound with light, microwaves or electricity.  We work closely with collaborators in the Colleges of Engineering, Optical Sciences, and Medicine, as well as industry, to develop cutting-edge imaging technologies that potentially improve patient care. Dr. Witte is also a member of the Arizona Cancer Center, Sarver Heart Center and School of Mind, Brain, and Behavior, as well as the Neuroscience, Applied Mathematics, and Biomedical Engineering graduate interdisciplinary programs (GIDPs).
