1:30 PM–3:30 PM
Special Interest Sessions
Cellular Bioeffects and Applications
Earn up to 2 CME credits.
Soho Complex Seventh Floor
Moderator: Diane Dalecki, PhD
THERA
After attending this session, participants will gain an understanding of methods
and challenges for investigations of ultrasound on cellular systems and knowledge
of several different but related cellular bioeffects and their applications in medicine
and tissue engineering. An appreciation of cellular-level bioeffects will correlate to
having a better understanding of the therapeutic bioeffects at the tissue and organ
levels in human subjects.

Tissue Engineering
Diane Dalecki, PhD
2:00 PM–2:30 PM Interactions of Microbubbles With Cells and Their
Applications for Drug and Gene Delivery
Cheri Deng, PhD

Elastography 2013
Earn up to 2 CME credits.
Marquis Ballroom C Ninth Floor
ELAST
Moderator: Richard Barr, MD, PhD
This session is designed to provide an overview of types of elastography and how
they are performed, provide an overview of shear wave elastography to evaluate
liver fibrosis, and provide an overview of how elastography can help in characterization
of lesions (multiple organs).
