Abe Y, Otsuka R, Muratore R, Fujikura K, Okajima K, Suzuki K, et al.
Ultrasound Med Biol . 2007 Nov; 34(3):400-5. PMID: 17988790
Mitral regurgitation, when it arises from functional restriction of mitral leaflet closure, can be relieved by surgical cutting of the mitral tendineae chordae. We hypothesized that high intensity focused ultrasound...

Liu T, Lizzi F, Ketterling J, Silverman R, Kutcher G
Med Phys . 2007 Apr; 34(3):1037-46. PMID: 17441250
A theoretical model is described for application in ultrasonic tissue characterization using a calibrated 2-D spectrum analysis method. This model relates 2-D spectra computed from ultrasonic backscatter signals to intrinsic...

Lizzi F, Kaisar Alam S, Mikaelian S, Lee P, Feleppa E
Ultrasound Med Biol . 2006 Nov; 32(11):1671-85. PMID: 17112954
Several factors affect the accuracy and precision of ultrasonic spectrum analysis, which is used for characterization of normal and diseased tissue in a variety of organs. For example, averaging procedures...

Silverman R, Coleman D, Ketterling J, Lizzi F
Proc SPIE Int Soc Opt Eng . 2006 Nov; 5750:16-25. PMID: 17102825
PURPOSE: Harmonic imaging has become a well-established technique for ultrasonic imaging at fundamental frequencies of 10 MHz or less. Ophthalmology has benefited from the use of fundamentals of 20 MHz...

Engel D, Muratore R, Hirata K, Otsuka R, Fujikura K, Sugioka K, et al.
J Am Soc Echocardiogr . 2006 Jul; 19(7):932-7. PMID: 16825005
Background: The potential therapeutic uses of ultrasound energy in cardiac disease have not been extensively studied. We have developed a means to deliver high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to myocardial tissue....

Ketterling J, Aristizabal O, Turnbull D, Lizzi F
IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control . 2005 Aug; 52(4):672-81. PMID: 16060516
This paper investigates the feasibility of fabricating a five-ring, focused annular array transducer operating at 40 MHz. The active piezoelectric material of the transducer was a 9-microm thick polyvinylidene fluoride...

Kaisar Alam S, Lizzi F, Varghese T, Feleppa E, Ramachandran S
Ultrason Imaging . 2005 Mar; 26(3):131-49. PMID: 15754795
In conventional elastography, internal tissue deformations, induced by external compression applied to the tissue surface, are estimated by cross-correlation analysis of echo signals obtained before and after compression. Conventionally, strains...

Otsuka R, Fujikura K, Hirata K, Pulerwitz T, Oe Y, Suzuki T, et al.
Ultrasound Med Biol . 2005 Jan; 31(1):109-14. PMID: 15653237
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possibility of using high-intensity focused ultrasound (US), or HIFU, to create lesions in cardiac valves in vitro. Calf mitral valves and...

Med Phys . 2004 Jun; 31(5):1032-9. PMID: 15191289
We are investigating the utility of a new ultrasonic tissue characterization technique, specifically two-dimensional (2-D) spectrum analysis of radio-frequency backscatter signals, which promises to provide quantitative measures of the physical...
