The goal of this project is to identify novel and emerging ultrasound technologies which can reduce the hardware complexity of conventional ultrasound scanners. Whilst novel technologies such as plane wave imaging and neural network or software-based beamforming have led to significant advances in imaging performance, this project aims to leverage new technologies to bring value to veterinary customers through a more efficient use of hardware.An assessment phase will precede any practical work, such that early research into emerging technologies will inform strategic direction once industrialisation constraints are considered.Whilst the general concepts of the above ground-breaking techniques have been described in literature, a knowledge gap exists both in academic and public industry literature regarding efficient implementation of such concepts in low cost and portable scanners.This work has the potential to deliver significant value to IMV imaging customers in an ever-changing market. Whilst this project will focus mainly on ultrasonic engineering for veterinary imaging, research developed in this domain will be just as applicable to portable medical ultrasound scanners.

该项目的目标是确定新的和新兴的超声技术，可以减少传统的超声扫描仪的硬件复杂性。虽然平面波成像和神经网络或基于软件的波束形成等新技术已经导致成像性能的显著进步，但该项目旨在利用新技术，通过更有效地使用硬件为兽医客户带来价值。评估阶段将先于任何实际工作，这样，一旦考虑到工业化的制约因素，对新兴技术的早期研究将为战略方向提供信息。突破性的技术已经在文献中进行了描述，在学术和公共行业文献中，关于在低成本和便携式扫描仪中有效实现这些概念的知识差距都存在。这项工作有可能在不断变化的市场中为IMV成像客户提供重要价值。虽然该项目将主要集中在兽医成像的超声工程，在这一领域的研究开发将适用于便携式医疗超声扫描仪。
