Objective
The Proof-of-Concept project will develop the hardware and software architecture for a novel ultrasound scanner
capable of performing real-time 3-D super-resolution imaging of the microcirculation in humans. The scanner is based on
the methods developed in the SURE ERC synergy grant project for Super-resolution Ultrasound Real-time imaging using
Erythrocytes (SURE). The approach can non-invasively visualize the microvascular structures in the human body for vessel
diameters down to 28 μm from data acquired in just 2 seconds. The results of several clinical studies will be used as a
proof-of-concept, and a prototype scanner with a touch-sensitive graphical interface will be developed and tested in a hospital
environment. Documents will be made specifying the architecture of both the software and the hardware platform for potential
commercial implementation of the approach. This will form the basis for either a potential spin-out company or a license
agreement with a commercial ultrasound company.
