3D high volume-rate imaging with a probe clip-on device:
In this project we are actively developing a probe clip-on device that encompasses a redirecting a fast-tilting acoustic mirror to rapidly sweep the ultrasound beam in the elevational direction to achieve ultrafast 3D imaging.

3D high volume-rate imaging with row-column-addressing (RCA) arrays:
In this project we take advantage of the high volume-rate of RCA arrays to perform 3D shear wave elastography and 3D super-resolution imaging.
