Muyinatu “Bisi” Bell<\/a>, an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering with appointments in the departments of Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science, has been selected to receive NIH\u2019s Trailblazer Award.<\/p>\n

The three-year, $624,000 award, administered through the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, supports innovative early-career researchers tackling high-risk, potentially high-impact projects. The ultimate goal is to foster the invention of methods, instruments, and materials that will open new avenues of research.<\/p>\n

Bell and her team will use the award to conduct pioneering research that integrates deep learning with ultrasound image formation to provide interventional radiologists with a new (and clearer) type of ultrasound image. These novel images only display structures of interest, such as a needle tip as it is inserted into the kidney and the corresponding kidney target location, addressing often problematic ultrasound image-quality issues. The proposed approach is the first of its kind to use data-driven methods to replace the traditional ultrasound image formation process.<\/p>\n

Bell is also director of the Photoacoustic and Ultrasonic Systems Engineering Lab<\/a> and a member of the Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-16256","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","news_categories-awards-and-honors"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMuyinatu Bell receives NIH's Trailblazer Award -
