Miniaturization of Ultrasound Scanners: Role of Microelectronics
In its 50 year history, medical ultrasound has changed dramatically. The scanners have changed from washing machine sized boxes to handheld devices at the same time as performance has improved well beyond what could possibly have been imagined in the 1970's. The major contributor to these changes has been the parallel development of miniaturized electronics. This talk will review these two parallel developments and will identify the point of major technology infusion of electronics technology into the ultrasound scanner. The resulting development of image quality and of novel clinical applications will be discussed with associated imagery.
Biography:
Dr. Thomenius received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and physiology from Rutgers University, New Brunswic, New Jersey in 1968, 1970, and 1978, respectively.
His background includes teaching and research at Rutgers University, Stevens Institute of Technology, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and MIT. He has held industry positions in medical ultrasound since 1976 for several ultrasound companies, most recently GE Global Research in Niskayuna, NY, where he was a Chief Technologist in the Imaging Technologies. Currently Dr. Thomenius is a consultant for CURT at Massachusetts General & Brigham. His work has centered on ultrasound systems design, beam formation, miniaturization of ultrasound scanners, and ultrasound bioeffects.
Dr. Thomenius is a Fellow of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM). He is a member of the editorial board of the Ultrasconic Imaging and has served as a reviewer of grant proposals for the NIH and DoD, and of articles for several ultrasound journals. He serves in the Technical Program Committees for several symposia. He is the 2018 winner of AiuM's Joseph H. Holmes Pioneer Award and has been designated as the Distinguished Lecturer for IEEE's UFFC Group for 2022-2023.
