Abstract: Nanobubbles (NBs) are promising ultrasound contrast agents capable of enhancing both vascular and extravascular imaging. Their spatially uniform scattering under repeated exposure enables consistent and durable enhancement. This study evaluates NB-enhanced ultrasound using compound amplitude modulation (cAM) and plane-wave imaging (PWI) on the Vevo F2 system (Fujifilm VisualSonics Inc.) in both phantoms and in vivo mice. Phospholipid-shelled NBs (~250 nm) were tested in phantoms (~10⁹ NBs/mL) and in mouse kidneys (~10¹¹ NBs/mL). While cAM was sufficient in phantoms, it was inadequate in vivo due to breathing motion and incomplete tissue suppression. To address this limitation, a new PWI-based methodology was developed for NB-enhanced imaging, integrating high-frame-rate acquisition and advanced signal processing to achieve robust vascular visualization without amplitude modulation or pulse inversion. This approach establishes a practical framework for NB-enhanced vascular ultrasound imaging and demonstrates strong potential for preclinical and clinical <a href="http://translation.350" target="_blank" title="translation.350">translation.350 Victoria Street, Toronto Metropolitan University, Room: KHE321C, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5B 2K3

Join us for the fifth session of the exciting webinar series on "New Frontiers in Signal Processing in 6G Wireless Networks", a collaboration between IEEE Signal Processing, IEEE Communications Society chapters in Ottawa, and IEEE ComSoC Young <a href="http://Professionals.Register" target="_blank" title="Professionals.Register">Professionals.Register now and stay tuned for updates on upcoming speakers and topics!Speaker(s): Prof. Hina TabassumAgenda: The next generation of wireless networks will no longer be confined to moving bits — they will sense, communicate, and learn simultaneously. This convergence is anticipated to enable distributed intelligence across devices, unlocking new capabilities for real-time perception and decision-making in dynamic environments. In this talk, two complementary advances in federated signal processing will be presented. First, an over-the-air federated edge learning (OTA-FEEL) framework with integrated radar sensing will be discussed. By leveraging echoes from the environment, rather than treating them solely as interference, robust model aggregation will be maintained while ensuring high-quality sensing and communication performance. A joint scheduling and beamforming design will be presented, supported by low-complexity optimization techniques, to preserve aggregation accuracy under realistic wireless conditions. Second, FedTrack, a novel federated learning–inspired algorithm for distributed target tracking, will be presented. By treating local log-likelihood functions as loss functions in a distributed optimization framework, FedTrack enables devices to collaboratively estimate a moving target’s position and velocity. This communication-efficient method closely approximates centralized maximum likelihood estimation, achieving accuracy near the Cramér–Rao bound while reducing reliance on a central coordinator. Together, these developments illustrate how federated intelligence over the air can transform 6G networks into systems that not only communicate but also sense and learn collaboratively. Implications for autonomous systems, smart cities, and beyond will be discussed, with emphasis on the central role of signal processing innovations in realizing this <a href="http://vision.Virtual:" target="_blank" title="vision.Virtual:">vision.Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/510260

Abstract: Unstructured documents often come with embedded structured data. Representing valuable and structured information as tables is popular in health, financial, and many domains. However, manual extraction of structured information from documents typically costs tremendous time and labor, motivating the need for a system for automating the process. After such tables have been extracted, the data can be used for a wide variety of tasks such as question answering and various “down-stream” analytics tasks. In this talk, we will discuss how to leverage ground-breaking pre-trained language models (e.g., BERT, ChatGPT) to develop tools for automated table extraction from various types of documents. We will present different applications from cancer registry reporting, cancer care, and psychiatry hospitalization <a href="http://prediction.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="prediction.Speaker(s):">prediction.Speaker(s): Raymond NgRoom: CSF-1302, Bldg: Core Science Facility , 45 Arctic Avenue, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
