Grant: Research Tools and Instruments - Category 1 (<$150,000)
University of British Columbia
$95,647.00
Reconfigurable open architecture 4D ultrasound system
FY 2007-08
Summary
An open-architecture ultrasound system is needed to perform advanced research in 3D and 4D imaging. There are a wide range of projects that will be based on the new system, ranging from diagnosis of cancer to guidance of epidural anesthesia. Open-architecture means that researchers at UBC can develop new image processing algorithms to better improve the quality of images, and create new images of the anatomy. Such a system will be put to use in developing new research ideas through collaborations with BC Women's Hospital, BC Cancer Agency and Vancouver General Hospital.
