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
