Grad student innovates better ultrasound, simple as selfies
A graduate engineering student at Princeton has come up with a way to overcome variability in the skills of ultrasound technologists. His method ensures better imaging quality every time by combining physics, biology and algorithms in a selfie-inspired process that, he says, results in higher resolution, better contrast, lower noise, fewer artifacts and more tissue-specific response.
The prestigious school is evidently sold, as it awarded the student, Jen-Tang Lu, its top prize for innovation—$15,000—at an annual innovation event.
Princeton’s office of engineering communications has the story:
Dave P. has worked in journalism, marketing and public relations for more than 30 years, frequently concentrating on hospitals, healthcare technology and Catholic communications. He has also specialized in fundraising communications, ghostwriting for CEOs of local, national and global charities, nonprofits and foundations.
