Research
Topics of current works:
- Quantitative ultrasonography in oncological diagnostics:
- differentiation between benign and malignant focal lesions of the breast and thyroid,
- monitoring the effectiveness of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer,
- assessment of malignancy of thyroid tumors based on CEUS contrast ultrasound. - Sonodynamic therapy, in vitro studies of the effects of glioblastoma multiforme treatment.
- Mathematical and numerical modeling of the dynamics of micron gas bubbles in a liquid under the influence of an ultrasonic wave in order to control the state of stable cavitation.
- Dual, ultrasonic-magnetic hyperthermia in ferrogels, searching for the synergy effect.
- Ultrasonic disruption of the blood-brain barrier:
- experimental and theoretical studies of microbubble vibrations in an acoustic field,
- ultrasonic imaging of microbubble activity in an acoustic field. - Reconstruction and improvement of the quality of ultrasound images using machine learning.
- Physics-based neural networks for quantitative soft tissue ultrasound.
- Computer-aided ultrasound diagnostics.
- Deep learning methods for biomedical image analysis.
- Machine learning based on synthetic data.
- Nonlinear ultrasound - determining the degree of nonlinearity of the medium based on the nonlinearity index.
- Synthetic aperture methods in ultrasound imaging (B-scan).
- Spectral methods for 3D ultrasound image reconstruction.
