Biomedical Ultrasound Symposium Day 2021, organized by Rochester Center for Biomedical Ultrasound, included topical lectures, student presentations, poster sessions, lunch, and networking opportunities for students interested or working in…

Sebastian Merino was selected as a geographic finalist for Latinoamerica in the Student Paper Competition of the 43rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. His paper, titled «Shear Wave Speed…

This event took place on October 5 at LAUS 2021 – IEEE Latin America Ultrasonics Symposium. Students attending LAUS 2021 were invited to participate in the Student Pitch Competition, in which they deliver a live 60-second pitch on their research,…

Several studies of Reverberant shear wave elastography (R-SWE) have shown its potential for clinical applications. Previous studies of R-SWE present a shear wave speed (SWS) estimation based on a curve-fitting of the regression of Bessel functions…

Hector Chahuara will present the work «Simultaneous estimation of ultrasonic attenuation and backscatter coefficients using robust estimation methods» in the IUS 2021 conference. This work presents a novel optimization-based algorithm for…

Repetitive finger tapping (FT) movements are sensitive to detect bradykinesia in Parkinson Disease. In this sense, this pilot study presents a comparative analysis between inertial sensors (accelerometer and gyroscope) and optical flow to assess…

The aim of our pilot study is to optimize optical flow (OF) measurement of the frequency of finger tapping with the use of accelerometry in healthy volunteers. For data acquisition, an accelerometer was placed in the index finger of eight healthy…

Elastography is an imaging modality that provides quantitative stiffness information based on ultrasound. In Crawling Wave Sonoelastography, two external vibration sources generate moving interference patterns on a tissue and a Shear Wave Speed…
