Projects

In the project, a medical device prototype – the transcranial multi-gate Doppler system – has been created/developed. The system is dedicated to test and monitor the flow of blood in the intracranial vessels using pulsed Doppler technique. The apparatus/device has been implemented to production at Sonomed Ltd.

The project was concerned with the development of a model system for the measurement of minute volume output of the artificial heart based on the ultrasonic Doppler technique. The instrumentation, consisting of ultrasonic transducers mounted on the connector of artificial heart ventricle, and the prototype electronic module with processing software, have been implemented.

The system has been verified in the chamber for continuous flow as well as pulse flow at Foundation for Cardiac Surgery Development in Zabrze. Further research will include the miniaturization of the system and development of the algorithms for microemboli detection.
