prof.dr. S. Manohar (Srirang)

Srirang Manohar is Professor and Chair, Multi-Modality Medical Imaging (M3I), a new research group. He has pioneered research into photoacoustic imaging of breast cancer. He also investigates the feasibility of the method hybrid with ultrasound imaging in image guidance of Radiofrequency Ablation, imaging ulcers in the diabetic foot, inflammation in joints in rheumatoid arthritis, and imaging of thyroid nodules. Prof. Manohar’s research spans technology development to early clinical assessment. The intended applications of the technologies span the range of ex vivo tissue imaging, minimally-invasive imaging to non-invasive. He has also done investigations into synthesis and characterization of gold nanoparticles, and in vitro and in vivo application of these and iron oxide nanoparticles in the context of providing contrast for photoacoustics.

Prof. Manohar is the Chair of the Biomedical Imaging & Sensing Department. He is also co-coordinator of the Domain Imaging & Diagnostics at the University of Twente. He has coordinated the H2020 project, PAMMOTH running from 2017-2021. He is also coordinator of the Dutch-India consortium Imaging Needles. Prof. Manohar is in the Editorial Board of the journal Elsevier Photoacoustics, and has co-edited two Special Issues. He is member of the Organizing Committee for the conference “Photons plus Ultrasound: Imaging and Sensing held annually under auspices of SPIE (Photonics West, San Francisco, USA). He is also member of the Program Committee for the conference Opto-Acoustic Methods & Applications, European Conferences on Biomedical Optics (ECBO), Munich, Germany.
