Noninvasive Imaging of Liver Disease by MRI and Photoacoustic Ultrasound

Join us on Wednesday November 5th for a LIVE webinar with Dr. Chris Albanese, Professor of Oncology and Radiology and Olga Rodriguez M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor from Georgetown University Medical Center.

Discussed in this webinar:

  • Liver diseases like steatosis and fibrosis are usually diagnosed with needle biopsy, which is invasive. Current imaging methods can’t reliably show the different stages of disease
  • Ultrasound Photoacoustic Imaging (US-PAI) is a new, non-invasive approach that captures tissue structure and oxygen changes
  • How US-PAI can directly detect key liver disease markers like collagen, fat, and fibrosis
  • Results, confirmed with MRI, suggest US-PAI could become a powerful tool for tracking liver disease without biopsy
  • Q&A
