VISE Affiliates Land NIH R01
VISE affiliates Brett Byram (PI) , Mike Miga (Co-I) and Dan Brown (Co-I) recently landed an NIH R01 surrounding ultrasound technology advancements. The project is on ultrasound image formation applied to liver biopsy, and it represents a new programmatic research direction at Vanderbilt that leverages the spirit and energy of VISE to confront challenging clinical problems.
The ultimate goal of the project is to fundamentally change the way the community thinks about the ultrasound image formation problem. In pursuit of this goal the investigators have already gained substantial traction, spurring invitations to talks at the primary ultrasound conferences and several seminars at other universities.
