This federal Project Grant award for $599,191, provided by the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.394 Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program), supports the development and validation of a 3D dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (3D DCE-US) framework to characterize tumor vascular properties for liver malignancies. The goal is to introduce computational approaches that leverage the interconnected nature of voxels in 3D DCE-US imaging to capture new information beyond conventional...
The federal Project Grant award R01CA299421, totaling $653,819.00, was awarded by the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.394 - Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research) to The Johns Hopkins University. The goal of this 5-year project (Feb 2025 - Jan 2030) is to develop a highly specific blood-based early detection test for pancreatic cancer, coupled with innovative approaches to leverage imaging, risk factor, and genetic data to more precisely guide the management of high-risk patients. The...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.394 - Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research) to the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research provides $263,086 to develop a multiparametric endoscopic ultrasound (MPEUS) imaging system and methodology for improved pancreatic cancer screening and characterization. The goal is to create a non-subjective, quantitative approach for detecting and characterizing pancreatic cancer and precursor lesions in high-risk individuals through techniques like B-mode imaging, ultrasensitive microvessel imaging, shear-wave elastography, and pulse-echo quantitative ultrasound. The project will implement real-time MPEUS in a clinical setting and test the system with 30 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients to identify associations with current clinical assessments. This research aims to introduce a safe, cost-effective imaging platform that could enhance pancreatic cancer screening and improve outcomes for high-risk individuals.
