Organisation profile

Ultrasound Imaging: The Future of Medical Diagnostics
Ultrasound imaging (US) is a key tool in modern diagnostics, used for rapid diagnosis, disease monitoring, and guiding interventions. Over the past two decades, it has advanced rapidly, becoming a safe, cost-effective alternative to other imaging methods. It is now widely used from tertiary to primary healthcare, reflecting the belief that "the future of medical imaging is sound."

Innovations and Advancements
To meet the demand for high-fidelity imaging, new concepts are being developed to overcome traditional US limitations. Innovations like photoacoustics, functional imaging, and model-based analysis provide detailed insights into tissue morphology and function. These advancements enable early diagnosis, continuous monitoring, and personalized treatment plans, improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Our work contributes towards the following SDG(s):

  • SDG 3 - Good Health and Well-being
  • SDG 16 - Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
