Research Facilities
The Ultrasound Research Laboratory in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute is a 1200 sq. ft. facility, with office space for 5 - 6 graduate students and research space for ultrasound experiments, numerical modeling work, wireless communication studies, and development of electronic circuits. An experienced electronic technician is also part of the lab.
The lab is set up for a wide variety of medical ultrasound development work, including 3D ultrasound hardware and software, development of custom ultrasound systems, and development of ultrasound phantoms. The lab is equipped with medical ultrasound scanners modified for research purposes, such as several Terason 2000 and Terason t3000 systems and an HP ImagePoint digital ultrasound system. Ultrasound pulser/receivers and measurement tanks are available, including a scanning tank with stepper motor controlled positioning system for the ultrasound measurements.
