Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
My research interests center around cardiac ultrasound. I am currently working on several areas in the development of human cardiac ultrasound.
The first is fetal cardiac ultrasound. I have continued to develop and foster research and development in this area. I am associated with the cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists to develop a program for fetal cardiac intervention at Stanford.
Secondly, I am currently establishing a program for development of three- dimensional ultrasound to aid conventional echocardiography in diagnosis and management. This program will assess both the prenatal and postnatal capabilities.
