Clinical Studies

Application of Lung Ultrasound Surface Wave Elastography in Assessment of Extravascular Lung Water Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to determine if lung ultrasound surface wave elastography (LUSWE) can accurately detect changes in lung elasticity (compliance) caused by the presence of extravascular lung water (pulmonary edema).

Differences in MR derived index of ventricular interdependence in constrictive pericarditis, restrictive cardiomyopathy and healthy controls: A prospective study Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (cMRI) and/or echocardiogram is useful to diagnose patients with unique heart conditions. This research study focuses on evaluating the use of cMRI or echocardiogram as a novel, non-invasive method for evaluating specific heart conditions.
