Our mobile ultrasound imaging system was used at a "staged disaster," in the form of a Moto Cross event at the Glen Helen Race Track. The event was scheduled by the Center for Prehospital Care at Loma Linda Medical Center near San Bernardino, CA.
The mobile ultrasound imaging system is intended for imaging at accident sites, during helicopter and/or ambulance transport, in emergency rooms, for rural health, military and developing countries.

The formation of our company, ImagiSonix, and its research activities was featured in an article in the Summer, 2007, issue of WPI Transformations.
The article mentions ….. that ImagiSonix offers a portable, battery-powered telemedicine system with ultrasound imaging that can withstand enough heat, dust, and jostling to work under harsh conditions in remote areas, as well as in emergency transport vehicles. Its battery operates for a full day without recharging, and its wireless voice and video communication features allow specialists at major hospitals to assist with diagnosis in real time.

Our mobile ultrasound system began testing for use during helicopter transport with the Division of Emergency Ultrasound, Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Massachusetts School of Medicine. The particular application deals with detection of endotracheal tube migration during helicopter transport.

Formation of ImagiSonix. In May, 2006, I founded the company ImagiSonix, Inc., together with R. James Duckworth and Thomas L. Szabo. During 2007, we established a management team and selected, on a temporary basis, a CEO. I worked closely with both CEOs to develop a business plan. Furthermore, we established a scientific advisory board and negotiated a license agreement with WPI. -Peder C. Pedersen
