Ultrasound technology and application for military, medical and industry

We are researching and developing portable and powerful ultrasound systems for therapeuticmedicine. We have developed the first and currently only, ultra-low output impedance amplifier technology that is 95-99% efficient at delivering electrical energy to be converted into acoustic power. Currently, we are developing these systems for various industry and academic collaborations.

In our own lab, we are using this technology to drive pharmaceuticals into human brain tissue in a targeted manor. The overall goal is to deliver the drug into the neurological tissue where the physician wants it to be delivered, so it may be as effective as possible.

We are also interested in developing 1-2mm acoustic catheters and probes that may be implanted or guided to the brain, where they could apply therapeutic acoustic power (e.g. ablation, warming, drug-delivery, or other possible applications) applications in human/animal.

Finally, our lab has developed a low-cost electrical impedance analyzer for various impedance spectroscopic applications for ultrasonics, biology and other applications.
