Funded Activity Summary

Enhanced ultrasound-based imaging using image-based registration and acoustic impedance reconstruction. The project will nurture the development of a new centre for medical image analysis work in Australia at the ANU. This is in line with the vision of ANU's Department of Engineering for the growth of biomedical engineering research. The project is directed at the creation of new surgical and imaging techniques based on ultrasound. These will have a direct effect on improved healthcare and new clinical procedures. The creation of a new ultrasound imaging modality will have commercial applications, enhancing the growth of biomedical engineering in Australia. The training of new PhD students and postdoctoral fellows will provide a basis for further development in this area, and its extension to other imaging research in Australia.
