About This Grant
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT We are requesting funds to upgrade our current FUJIFILM VisualSonics Vevo 3100 ultrasound system to the advanced Vevo F2 imaging system. The Vevo F2 will be housed within the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University and will support over 1,900 hours of accessible user time per year for 11 Major Users and 7 Other Users. This upgrade is essential for our NIH-funded research community, which spans cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, renal, musculoskeletal, and oncological research. The Vevo F2 system offers significantly improved imaging performance over the Vevo 3100, including higher acquisition speeds, an expanded frequency range (71–1 MHz), and new imaging modes such as 4D Color Doppler, Vevo Strain 2.0, and elastography, etc. These capabilities will support imaging needs across animal models ranging from embryonic zebrafish to large animal systems, enabling precise, real-time imaging of cardiovascular and organ function that the current Vevo 3100 system cannot achieve. The current Vevo 3100 (acquired in 2018) is now approaching its limits in both performance and capacity, with 80% average usage and a lack of support for advanced imaging modalities (i.e. elastography, lower frequencies, acoustic engineering software (VADA), and color Doppler 4D imaging). The proposed Vevo F2 will significantly improve image acquisition efficiency, reduce animal anesthesia time, and expand capabilities in strain quantification, large-animal imaging, and multi-user workflows. Our collaborative laboratories, both domestic and international, are already using the Vevo F2 system, enabling data sharing and methodological harmonization. A nine-member advisory committee will oversee fair access and scheduling for current and prospective users of the Vevo F2 system. Daily operations and user training will be led by a dedicated team of experienced scientists. The Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue has committed multiyear support for service contracts and data storage. This shared Vevo F2 system will continue to support and enhance current and future NIH-funded research projects and catalyze new directions in biomedical research.
