Research
When I started my master thesis on ultrasound contrast agents, I didn't know how fascinating these microbubbles are. But it didn't take long to understand that microbubbles can do more than what they were intended to be used for, i. e. increasing the reflectivity of blood.
Currently, I am a Ph.D. student at the Institute of High Frequency Engineering, Ruhr-University in Bochum, Germany.
To give you an idea of what I am working on, I
have converted a poster to a pdf-file. I presented this poster at the Fifth
Heart Centre Symposium on Ultrasound Contrast Imaging, where I won the Young
Investigator Award in February 2000.
Poster: Brain
Perfusion Imaging Using Contrast Agent Specific Imaging Modes
(2.1 MB)
In October 2000, I presented this poster on the
2000 IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium:
Poster: Ultrasonic
Assessment of Perfusion Conditions in the Brain and in the Kidney
(1.52 MB)

NOTE: The Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in may not be able to open the posters because the files are quite large. Please download the posters before viewing them.
In January 2001, I gave the following presentation
on The Sixth European Symposium On
Ultrasound Contrast Imaging:
PowerPoint
Slide Show: A 5-pulse Sequence for Harmonic and Sub-Harmonic Imaging
(2.7 MB)

Also in January 2001, I gave the following presentation
on 6th Ultrasound
Contrast Research Symposium in Radiology, and I won the Best
Presentation Award:
PowerPoint
Slide Show: Ultrasonic Assessment of Perfusion Conditions in the Brain and in Soft
Tissue Organs
(3.1 MB)

In October 2001, the 2001 IEEE
Ultrasonics Symposium took place in Atlanta. There, I presented the paper Optimized Receive Filters and Phase-Coded Pulse Sequences for Contrast Agent and Nonlinear
Imaging.

In January 2001, I presented
the following poster on The Seventh European Symposium
On
Ultrasound Contrast Imaging:
Optimized Receive Filters and Phase Coded
Sequences for Contrast Agent Imaging
(746 kB)
For those of you who are
especially interested in neurology or perfusion quantitation,
the following presentation might be of interest:
I highly recommend the above mentioned conferences / meetings!
I would like to thank the coauthors who made this work possible.
