Research Interests

Dr. Silverman’s research interests include:

  • Advanced ultrasound probe design, signal processing for improved sensitivity, resolution in ultrasound images
  • High-resolution ultrasound imaging and biometry of the cornea and anterior segment
  • Imaging and characterization of ocular tissues
  • Ultrafast plane-wave ultrasound imaging
  • Ultrasound and optical coherence tomography to measure ultrasound-induced tissue displacements
  • Ultrasound blood-flow imaging, including use of contrast agents
  • Ultrasound determination of tissue elastic properties
  • Use of high-resolution ultrasound to map cornea layers to detect indications of early keratoconus
