Both Wren Wightman and Kaden Bock from the Nightingale lab attended and presented at the International Tissue Elasticity Conference in Seattle, WA!!
Wren's talk was entitled "On the stability of time-of-flight based shear wave speed estimators using slowness and velocity," discussing her work to show that making a small change in phase velocity estimation techniques (aggregating the measured "slowness" of the wave rather than the velocity) can improve SWEI reconstruction quality at much lower SNR than the field standard!
Kaden's talk was entitled "Optimizing Multi-Modality Anisotropic Elasticity Imaging Phantoms," in which he discussed his recent contributions to showing the repeatability of embedded lattice phantoms and the effects of changing lattice designs on measured shear moduli and shear anisotropy. Well done Kaden and Wren!
