This year, we are excited to return to IUS in the flesh! The 2022 International Ultrasonics Symposium will be held from October 10th to 13th in Venice, Italy, and us4us is once again resuming its role as a silver sponsor.

IEEE International Ultrasonic Symposium (IUS), the leading international ultrasonics symposium, returns September 6th. As always, us4us will be present, this year as a Bronze patron. With the conference again taking place online, we are sorry we won’t be able to meet any of you in person … but with the exciting schedule we’ve got planned, including four presentations, a collaboration with NVIDIA, and a brand-new short-course, we hope you’ll tune in anyway!

The new year has come, and with it, our brand new website! But wait, there is more to come …

If you’ve missed us at the Nvidia GTC-2018 conference in San Jose, CA, USA, here is the scoop: we were very proud to present all our ultrasound systems and solutions, and particularly happy that we could introduce our GPU-oriented ultrasound developments to the community just as the Nvidia CEO introduced project CLARA – a medical imaging supercomputer.

Today, we have started a spin-off company!

We continue to hold ambitious plans for the further development and commercialization of the ultrasound platform designed as part of the POIG project.
The POIG itself is at its end, and with the day of 30/09/2015, it will be but history. Thanks to the project, we have created a new team and lab within the IFTR, and we have designed and succeeded at building our Platform.

We have conducted initial tests of the complete Versetile Ultrasound Platform !!!

The developed, built and pre-tested electronic modules (RX64, CTRL96, TX192) have been connected into one unit. The implemented software allows to program functions of the device and carries out reconstruction as well as visualization of ultrasound images. Currently, we are testing the basic control functions and reconstruction algorithms for a plane wave.

The system is prepared to be shown this year in September at the exhibition of the conference IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium (Chicago, USA).

CONGRATULATIONS to the whole team!

Thank you all for your commitment and belief in our success!

We had a visit to the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) being invited by the German side. The talks were focused on the possibility of cooperation in the multi-channel systems of signal acquisition for the application in ultrasonic tomography. Unique features of our solution (ie. fast data transfer and processing technology using GPU processors) respond to the needs of the 3D ultrasound tomography device for breast examination (USCT) built in KIT.

Our laboratory has been facilitated with the calibrated flow standard. The system was designed and manufactured by our co-workers from IBIB PAN. The use of the specific design gear pump and calibration of the system enable generating a precise fluid of continuous and pulse flow within the range from 0.5 to 5 l / min. The standard will significantly support the testing as well as verification of the systems and Doppler algorithms.

I am pleased to announce that the main module of the mUSG system (the main module of the portable ultrasound device) has been launched. The module is responsible for: acquiring ultrasonic signals, control of transmit signals and communication with a PC.

The portable ultrasound platform was built in the “NCBR LIDER” Programme. It will enable the implementation of new methods of ultrasound imaging to provide a higher quality of visualization of human structures and organs. Due to a modern architecture of the processing and solutions the platform represents a competitive solution compared to available on the market devices.

Once again we took part in the annual scientific conference IUS (IEEE Ultrasonics). This time it was in Prague, 21-25.07.2013.

For the second time we presented at our booth: projects, conducted research and offer for electronic systems developed by our Team. The exhibition attracted a lot of interest. We hope that the established contacts will result in scientific cooperation and orders!

Thanks to the whole POIG Team for the exceptional commitment and job!

Our participation in the conference IUS 2012 in Dresden was a full success!

The show (organized by ourselves!) that promoted the carried out POIG project and our Team had a great interest. We distributed almost all promotional materials and established dozens of contacts. In addition to the exhibition, we astonished all (at least we think) by our scientific reports on a subject of the Project (4 presentations). Another IUS exhibition will be in Prague in July 2013 – you can expect us there.

BRAVO for the whole POIG team! (including in particular: Beata and Piotr’s fortitude; Magda was responsible for the organization and promotion; Ania for help in the text preparing)

In the past few weeks we conducted the first tests of start/activation/run of the 64-channel acquisition module RX64.

The RX64 module is the first and most important element of the developed ultrasound platform. It will provide possibility of simultaneous sampling and digitization of ultrasonic echo signals from 64 transmitters. Use of highly advanced electronic solutions and high-speed digital interfaces will enable to build a universal modular ultrasound platform with advanced signal processing on GPUs.

The module has been entirely designed in ZU IPPT and is a very significant technical achievement of the POIG project group.

My congratulations and thanks to the whole Team!!!
