Welcome
Laboratory for Enabling Technologies in Medical Ultrasound
The mission of the Ultrasound Research Lab is to enable a wider use of medical ultrasound so that it can be used by medical personnel with modest training. To that end, we are designing and testing a mobile, rugged ultrasound imaging system with voice or touch screen control. To provide access to medical experts at remote sites, we are developing image compression and wireless image transmission tools.
To make the ultrasound image easier to interpret, we are developing practical 3D imaging and image segmentation methods. Further, image analysis algorithms are being developed to aid the interpretation of the image for trauma situations. We invite you to explore this web site and learn about the ongoing research activities. Click here for contact information.
