In sharper focus
Take a 40-year-old problem of ‘unfocused’ ultrasound images, add dedicated researchers at a centre for research-based innovation, and the result? Sharper, clearer images regardless of the patient’s anatomy – a vitally important improvement for diagnosing heart attacks and their severity.
Crack-detecting waves
Whether they transport oil, gas, water, or other substances – you do not want them to leak. But if a pipe is in an inaccessible area, how do you then check for cracks? And if there are any – are they critical, or not?
Real-time project and real-life experience
When building a house, it is crucial to know whether the ground consists of rock, gravel, sand, or clay. The same goes for underwater installations, but it is not so easy to determine as on dry land.
The heat is on – transducer design
To inspect and test oil pipelines is crucial – both for health and safety, and for the environment. But the harsh conditions mean specialised equipment is imperative. When using ultrasound to perform non-destructive testing, this translates into a need for transducers that can withstand extremely high temperatures.
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.
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.
