Spring Conference 2022 – imaging in more ways than one
This year’s spring conference approached imaging from an academic, industrial – and artistic angle. Around 70 participants came to Grand Hotel Åsgårdstrand in Vestfold to share the latest on ultrasound developments in CIUS and ongoing research and development from our partners located in Horten.
Ultrasound on a chip
“When you put something on a chip, you are democratising it because it is going to be cheaper and more accessible,” says Amirfereydoon Mansoori. His PhD work aims to contribute to that.
The biased inventor – when an innovation fails
As a researcher in CIUS my job is to develop new knowledge, concepts, and methods to further science and innovation. In doing so, it is easy to be misled, or biased if you will, by one’s own ideas. This is a true story.
In-probe receivers for medical ultrasound systems
There are two important steps when solving any problem: first, knowing there is one and, subsequently, finding out how to solve that problem. An example could be, in our case, having an electronic image of the heart and, through the analysis of doctors (cardiologists) or via artificial intelligence (AI), finding both the problem and solution.
CIUS Fall Conference 2021
The first physical CIUS conference since the autumn of 2021 saw a record number of attendees with 110 people registered and 90 people attending in person. The rest followed proceedings digitally.
GE Healthcare Women’s Health Ultrasound new CIUS partner
Today we are pleased to announce that GE Healthcare Women’s Health Ultrasound will be partnering with the Centre for Innovative Ultrasound Solutions (CIUS) consortium. This partnership enables CIUS to expand and diversify into the women’s health arena.
Open source processing of ultrasound images with the USTB
The UltraSound ToolBox (USTB), is a collaboration between several international institutions lead by former and current CIUS researchers Alfonso Rodriguez-Molares, (University of Vigo, Spain), Ole Marius Hoel Rindal (UiO and SINTEF) and Stefano Fiorentini (NTNU). It is an open source toolbox for processing of ultrasonic signals, where researchers can share and compare processing methods for ultrasound imaging.
(Not) science fiction at the GP’s
Those who grew up with Star Trek, watched the ship doctor using something akin to a mobile phone, which after one swipe could tell you what was wrong with the patient. This is no longer pure science fiction – at least not for diagnosing heart…
From meteorology to heart diagnostics
Weather forecasts have become a regular part of every day life, and much of the reliability behind these come from advanced techniques for combining weather observations with models based on physical principles. Using the same methods, we can help doctors discover heart disease at earlier…
Hit the nerve with ultrasound and artificial intelligence
Imagine hitting a hole-in-one in golf every single time you try, with limited vision and only one hand. This is how it is to administer regional anaesthetics using ultrasound. Read more in the original blog post at Forskning.no: Treff nerven med ultralyd og kunstig intelligens
