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.
Let the computer check the oil well!
It can be difficult to interpret ultrasound data used to check whether oil wells have a leak or not. We have found out how computers can help with the interpretations. Read the full blog post at Forskning.no: La datamaskina sjekke oljebrønnen!
(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…
Ultrasound – hunting for leaking oil wells
What does blood flow in veins and leaking oil wells have in common? In both cases, we can discover and measure the flow using ultrasound! Read more in the original blog post at Forskning.no: Ultralyd – i jakten på oljebrønner som lekker
The robots listen to what the ocean can tell about climate change. We improve their hearing
Robots and small submarine vessels are bringing us closer to life under water. They carry echo sounders to collect information. When they can carry several echo sounders with more frequencies, new possibilities to understand the oceans are opened up. Read more in the original blog…
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…
