  1. Ultrasound imaging evaluation of …….
  2. Helped to formalize guidelines regards “Placement and Exchange of Tunnelled Catheters in the setting of on-going or recent infection”.
  3. Represent the VIR section in the planning of the ISIS centre to work out the feasibility to have simulation modules for VIR training of residents and fellows.
  4. Represent the VIR section at the “Surgical Infection Prevention Committee” at UWMC.


Karim Valji, MD

  1. Arterial thrombolysis
  2. Pharmacomechanical thrombolysis techniques
  3. Hemodialysis graft interventions


Nghia-Jack Vo, MD          

Xiaoming Yang, MD, PhD

  1. Intraluminal MR imaging and interventions, which attempts to fully apply the unique advantages of MR technologies in interventional radiology.
  2. Interventional imaging of cardiovascular gene therapy, which focuses on development of novel interventional techniques, using different imaging techniques, such as MRI and ultrasound as well as optical imaging, to monitor and enhance gene therapies of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and post- angioplasty and in-stent restenosis.
  3. MR tracking of stem-progenitor cells, which emphasizes on development of an innovative technology, using MRI to monitor the trafficking and migration of stem-progenitor cells to the targets.
  4. Application of nanotechnology in molecular imaging and intervention, which aims to fully apply “3-in-1” functions of nano-/micro-scaled particles, including imaging and targeting as well as transporting, in screening, early diagnosis, and efficient treatment of different diseases.
