Monitoring Cancer Oxygenation Changes Induced by Ultrasound
Abstract
Preliminary studies with 5 tumor-bearing rats performed by the original PI, Dr. Daqing Piao, demonstrated that ultrasonic vibrations could either generate significant effects (early stage tumors) on optical measurements or no effects on optical measurements (late stage tumors). During the first two years, the original PI had devoted his efforts on quantifying both acoustic vibration and optical measurement of oxygenation. He had completed the first two proposed tasks and partially competed the third task. The original PI finished his Ph.D training at UConn and accepted a Post Doc position at Dartmouth College at end of July 2004. 1 was appointed by Prof. Zhu (Mentor of the training grant) to continue this training grant on Sept 2004. My appointment was approved by the D.O.D. around May 2005. 1 was given a one-year extension to complete this project. Since May 2005, 1 have been studying the relevant literature and also linking my photo-acoustic small animal research project funded by NIH with this training grant.
