Research Focus

Michael Oelze’s research utilizes ultrasound technology to improve cancer diagnosis and monitor cancer therapy, detect early response, and predict patient outcomes. The Oelze lab has been focusing on quantitative ultrasound techniques to improve diagnostic ultrasound. The technique represents a new paradigm for cancer diagnostics and therapy detection that could be adopted to provide physicians with early feedback on the efficacy of a therapy regimen, enabling early changes to therapy protocols if a particular therapy is not working.
