2:45 PM–3:05 PM Characterization of Vulnerable Atherosclerotic PlaquesWith Intravascular Elastography: From Theory to InVivo Human ApplicationsRoch Listz Maurice, PhD3:05 PM–3:15 PM Questions and AnswersSaturday, March 15 • ConventionMolecular Imaging With Ultrasound: Part 2Moderators: Michael Oelze, PhD, and Robert Mattrey, MDSan Diego C · North Tower/Lobby LevelThe objective of this course is to familiarize clinicians, scientists, and sonographerswith the latest techniques for molecular imaging, targeted contrast agents,and applications using both high-frequency and conventional ultrasoundtechniques. Clinical applications include intravascular ultrasound imaging ofcoronary arteries, perfusion imaging, assessment of blood flow, detection ofthrombi, and detection of tumors or other disease. The latest advances inmolecular imaging in ultrasound will be presented, as well as the contributionof ultrasound to molecular imaging compared to other imaging modalities(positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, computedtomography, and optical imaging). How ultrasound molecular imaging techniqueswill be exploited in therapeutic interventions will also be presented.1:45 PM–2:05 PM Complex Microbubbles for Molecular Imaging andTherapyAlexander Klibanov, PhD2:05 PM–2:25 PM Molecular Imaging With Ultrasound Contrast AgentsJonathan Linder, MD2:25 PM–2:45 PM Ultrasound Contrast in SonothrombolysisChristy Holland, PhD2:45 PM–3:05 PM Using Ultrasound Molecular Imaging Principles forDiagnosis and Therapy: Panel DiscussionModerator: Robert Mattrey, MDPediatric New Horizons and Interventional UltrasoundModerator: Lynn Fordham, MDSan Diego A · North Tower/Lobby LevelThe objective of this course is to review new applications in pediatricultrasound imaging and in pediatric ultrasound-guided interventions.1:45 PM–2:15 PM Pediatric Interventional UltrasoundBrian Coley, MD2:15 PM–2:45 PM Ultrasound of Anorectal MalformationsSteve Kraus, MD2:45 PM–3:15 PM Ultrasound of the Voiding CystourethrogramKassa Darge, MD64
