The Cardiovascular Imaging Core Research Laboratory is able to arm investigators with an array of imaging and measurement tools.
Our cardiac tools include:
2-D, M-mode and color flow Doppler echocardiography
Tissue velocity imaging, strain rate analysis
Stress echo
Wall stress analysis
Micro-ultrasonography and Doppler echocardiography for small animals
Our vascular imaging services include:
Vascular structure: carotid intima-media thickness
Arterial stiffness
Endothelial function
- Brachial flow-mediated dilation
- Laser flow Doppler
- Reactive hyperemia index
- Venous plethysmography
We also offer additional services for investigators. The lab offers a vascular workshop, “Vascular Function Assessment in Pediatric Patients.” We also present a yearly seminar that provides educational resources in state-of-the-art cardiac and vascular procedures, technique and science. Also, our state-of-the-art, comprehensive offline measuring software databases can manage your data design, and our business department serves as a resource for grant and industry funded projects.
