Upcoming Research
The following is a list of upcoming research projects in the Laboratory for Enabling Technologies in Medical Ultrasound
Elasticity Imaging for Trauma
This upcoming research will deal with the development of a new imaging method, that is, the imaging of tissue elasticity. The elasticity image may be presented separately from the conventional ultrasound image, or it may be an overlay to the ultrasound image. The technique is based on measuring the force or force distribution, applied to the skin surface by the ultrasound transducer at two different force levels, and calculating the change in tissue stress across the image plane. The tissue strain (tissue deformation) across the image plane will be determined from the ultrasound image, captured at the two different force levels that the transducer applies to the skin.
An RA position is open for this work; important skills: programming and Matlab experience; good mathematical skills
