While many existing imaging techniques are effective for locating lesions, most lack the functional information necessary to characterize the degree of disease progression or to distinguish between adjacent diseased and healthy tissues. Recent developments in contrast agent-specific ultrasound imaging enable evaluation of tumor progression on the basis of microvascular structure at spatial resolutions of ~100 \u0026mu;m. \u0026nbsp;We have also recently developed a new high resolution ultrasound molecular imaging technique and have demonstrated the ability to quantify spatial relationships between vascular remodeling and endothelial cell markers at these scales. \u0026nbsp;Quantifying vessel tortuosity, endothelial cell marker expression, and microvascular blood flow dynamics provides complimentary physiological indicators of disease for monitoring tumor angiogenesis, guiding biopsies, or characterizing atherosclerotic plaques at earlier stages than current technology. The underlying physics and instrumentation requirements for acquiring these images will be discussed along with opportunities for employing these techniques. \u0026nbsp;Finally, the importance of comprehensive design of all aspects of an imaging system\u0026mdash;including transducers, processing algorithms, contrast agents, and image analysis\u0026mdash;in enabling functional imaging capabilities (i.e. morphological, molecular, hemodynamic) will be examined.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHost: \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:stas@gatech.edu\u0022\u003EStanislav Emelianov, Ph.D.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThursday, January 12\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n10:30 a.m.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nGeorgia Tech: Whitaker Bldg, McIntire Room 3115\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nVideoconference:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nEmory: HSRB E182\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nGeorgia Tech: TEP 104\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"BME Speaker Seminar with Brooks Lindsey, Ph.D.*"}],"uid":"27513","created_gmt":"2017-01-03 16:19:32","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:13:30","author":"Walter Rich","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2017-01-12T10:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2017-01-12T11:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2017-01-12T11:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2017-01-12 15:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2017-01-12 16:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2017-01-12 16:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"585424":{"id":"585424","type":"image","title":"Brooks Lindsey, Ph.D.","body":null,"created":"1483459407","gmt_created":"2017-01-03 16:03:27","changed":"1483459407","gmt_changed":"2017-01-03 16:03:27","alt":"Brooks Lindsey, Ph.D.","file":{"fid":"223182","name":"BrooksLindsey_photo.jpg-edited-cropped.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/BrooksLindsey_photo.jpg-edited-cropped.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/BrooksLindsey_photo.jpg-edited-cropped.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":506177,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/BrooksLindsey_photo.jpg-edited-cropped.jpg?itok=tewlakBt"}}},"media_ids":["585424"],"groups":[{"id":"1254","name":"Wallace H.
