Overview
Dr Tang's current research mainly focuses on the following topics:
- Imaging tissue structure and function using high frame-rate/ultrafast ultrasound, microbubble contrast agents, and photoacoustics.
- Cardiac imaging and quantification of flow and perfusion
- Cancer perfusion and molecular imaging
- Vascular flow imaging and quantification
- Super resolution imaging
- Microbubble contrast agent physics
- Elastography
