Episode 1: Vevo for Liver & NASH (Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) Imaging

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) refers to an accumulation of excess fat in the liver and is a predominant cause of chronic liver disease. Watch to learn more about multi-modal imaging of the liver and how anatomical, functional and molecular imaging data can help to follow liver disease progression.

Topics to be Discussed

  • How to assess early changes in liver structures
  • Tumor detection and sizing in 2D and 3D
  • How to monitor response to therapy
  • Analysis of vessel architecture in the liver
  • Oxygen saturation and total hemoglobin measurement of liver tissue
  • Monitoring of liver tumor growth with contrast agents
  • Biodistribution with whole body imaging

Episode 2: Vevo for Renal Imaging

Polycystic kidney disease, kidney cancer, renal infection, hydronephrosis, and renal malformation are just a few diseases involving the kidney. Learn more about multi-modal imaging of kidney and how non-invasive real time imaging can provide anatomical, functional and molecular data.

Topics to be Discussed

  • How to monitor renal size and function non-invasively and in real-time.
  • Tumor detection and sizing in 2D and 3D
  • Monitoring of kidney tumor growth
  • Assessing renal blood flow
  • Evaluation of renal microcirculation
  • Alternatives to surgery for applying treatment or inducing experimental kidney disease
  • Evaluation of oxygen saturation in the Kidney
  • Whole body biodistribution imaging with coregistration of ultra high resolution ultrasound and photoacoustic
