Until now, ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) has been implemented solely on high-end medical scanners or bulky and expensive research systems. Today, we have proven that it is feasible to implement this highly advanced modality on our own portable research system us4R-lite™.

The Versatile Ultrasound Platform.
The Versatile USG Platform – initial tests
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!

Our brand new calibrated flow phantom.
New arrivals… a calibrated flow phantom
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.

Running of the acquisition module of the portable ultrasound device
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.

New project: a system for microemboli detection
My Team together with Prof. Z.Religa Foundation for Cardiac Surgery Development (FRK) had received funding for the project: A system for measurement of blood flow and detection of microemboli material for pulse prosthesis of heart assistance ReligaHeart EXT.
The project was submitted in the first call of Applied Research Program NCBiR. The head of the project will be dr Maciej Gawlikowski of FRK, and my humble person will coordinate the research on the side IPPT PAN.

View of the RX64 acquisition module.
Commissioning of the first module of the Platform
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!!!
