Topic:

Hyper-aperture Ultrasound: A New Paradigm in Medical Ultrasound.

Presenter:

Dr. Laura Peralta Pereira, Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering at King’s College London.

Synopsis:

Ultrasound is one of the most used medical imaging modalities. It is safe, portable and inexpensive, and it provides real-time images without radiation. However, conventional systems are limited by physical constraints leading to low resolution images with a restricted field of view and view-dependent artefacts. This lecture will discuss ongoing efforts to advance medical ultrasound via the use of hyper-apertures, a new approach that Dr. Peralta Pereira’s group has pioneered.
