Ultrafast Ultrasound Imaging of the Human Brain
June 4, 2026
Presented by Pieter Kruizinga, Ph.D., Assistant Professor Department of Neuroscience & Neurosurgery – Erasmus MC – BrainEcho Lab
Dr. Pieter Kruizinga presented the work he and his colleagues have developed in Ultrafast Ultrasound Imaging of the brain at hundreds of frames per second to reveal its hemodynamic dimension with unmatched resolution and sensitivity by any other technique. This dimension matters both for clinical practice, where it can guide decision making during surgery, and for fundamental neuroscience, where it lets us see the human brain at work in more naturalistic scenarios.
More recently, Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) has added a new scale to this picture, resolving the cerebral microvasculature down to tens of micrometers. Dr. Kruizinga shared their exploration journey, from their first 2D images during awake brain surgery to full 4D ultrafast ultrasound and ULM, technologies that are starting to guide neurosurgical interventions and neuroscientific discovery.
High-Performance Ultrasound with Vantage® NXT: Photoacoustic Imaging, Golay Codes, FastSave & SWE
October 23, 2025
Presented by Miguel Bernal, Ph.D., Head of Ultrasound Science at Verasonics, and Bryan Cunitz, Staff Ultrasound Scientist at Verasonics.
This webinar covers the latest advancements in the Vantage NXT system, designed to support and accelerate ultrasound research across a wide range of applications. Offering details on new features and shared results from ongoing research collaborations, illustrating how these features enhance system performance and flexibility.
This webinar will be posted once final research by Verasonics collaborators is published, a process that may take several months. Once published, Verasonics Marketing will highlight the availability of the recording on our LinkedIn profile.
Essentials of Ultrasound Imaging: A New Approach to Learning Ultrasound
June 19, 2025
Presented by Tom Szabo, Ph.D., Research Professor – Biomedical Engineering at Boston University
The Essentials of Ultrasound Imaging Course offers a revolutionary new way of learning the science and technology of ultrasound by synergistically combining a traditional presentation of principles, student engagement with concepts, and hands-on learning. This webinar provides an overview of the course, which integrates examples from the textbook, Essentials of Ultrasound Imaging (authors: Dr. Thomas L. Szabo & Dr. Peter Kaczkowski), interactive ultrasound software simulators and experiments involving specially designed labs and scripts for the Vantage Research Ultrasound System.
Ultrasound Imaging of Low Velocity Blood Flow
May 22, 2025
Presented by Matthew Bruce, Ph.D., Verasonics Ultrasound Scientist and head of the Bruce Lab at the University of Washington
This webinar explores how low-velocity flow detection has been significantly enhanced with the advent of microvascular Doppler flow imaging modes, which are now available on many commercial imaging systems. Additionally, Dr. Bruce will discuss how the introduction of microbubbles solves a key limitation of these Doppler modes, providing visualization of relative differences in microvascular flow. Traditional and new efforts to quantify microvascular hemodynamics with microbubbles are presented, particularly nonlinear ULM approaches.
Dr. Bruce’s webinar will be posted once his final research is published, a process that may take several months. Once published, Verasonics Marketing will highlight the availability of the recording on our LinkedIn profile.
Vantage® NXT Transceiver: Pushing the Boundaries of Ultrasound Research
December 5, 2024
Presented by Miguel Bernal, Ph.D., Verasonics Lead Ultrasound Scientist
Learn more about the many ways your research can benefit from Vantage NXT transceiver technology features. This event includes an overview of Verasonics’ transceiver design, showcasing key features of the newly patented Vantage NXT transceiver. Dr. Bernal also demonstrates several research achievements by highlighting collaborative efforts with experts in the field of ultrasonics via comprehensive comparisons between the flagship Vantage and new Vantage NXT platforms.
Enhancing Vascular Imaging Using Dynamic Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (DULM)
September 10, 2024
Presented by Jean Provost, Ph.D., Polytechnique Montréal, Canada
Learn more about Dr.Provost’s research on the development of novel ultrasound technologies, with a focus on neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, using 3D ultrafast ultrasound imaging and dynamic ultrasound localization microscopy.
Visualizing Cellular Functions in Three Dimensions
March 21, 2024
Presented by David Maresca, Ph.D., Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands
The goal of Dr. Maresca’s laboratory is to develop ultrasound methods capable of visualizing biological functions to enable breakthroughs in biology and medicine. This webinar describes a method for achieving fast 3D ultrasound imaging of the cellular processes at the organ scale via the detection of acoustic biomolecules or lipid-shelled microbubbles.
