Award for research on ultrasound imaging and treatment of hernia mesh infections using cavitation-based histotripsy, aiming to improve patient care with noninvasive methods.
Description
This project involves developing cavitation-based histotripsy to treat surgical mesh infections, improving mesh contrast via shear-wave and pulse echo imaging, and testing safety and efficacy in a swine model. The project aims to provide a noninvasive alternative to treat mesh infections and improve patient care.
