Advancing Ultrasound Technologies | HybridEcho   Medical ultrasound has transformed diagnosis and management in all areas of clinical medicine. However, current ultrasound imaging has limited spatial resolution, depends on bulky devices and is highly user dependend. HybridEcho is an interdisciplinary group of engineers, computer scientists and physicians working on methods and technologies to resolve these issues. They aim to develop and integrate new microelectromechanical components for an ultrasound system to enable advanced imaging techniques based on signals from mobile communications. The resulting system will set a new standard for medical ultrasound with its superior image quality. ⬜ Coordinator: Moritz Herzog Technische Universität Dresden (EKFZ) Project Partners: Gerhard Fettweis Infineon Technologies Dresden GmbH Fraunhofer IKTS Marco Kircher Fraunhofer IPMS Dominique Schubert SITEC Industrietechnologie GmbH Robert Kirchner HETEROMERGE GmbH Exelonix GmbH Sebastian Wolfram WOLFRAM Designer und Ingenieure HybridEcho is also part of the SEMECO Cluster. The Free State of Saxony is additionally funding this project. ⬜ Funding: The European Union offers a variety of funding programmes to support research and education as a valuable public good. This project receives funding by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Funding period 01.08.2023 – 31.05.2026) is co-financed from tax revenues on the basis of the budget adopted by the Saxon State Parliament.    ⬜ More about HybridEcho ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eAJVCvR4
