Department of Ultrasonics of Polish Academy of Science (Warsaw)

Focuses on the research and development of new theories and techniques for use in quantitative NDE.

Established in May 1991 by Dr. Yoseph Bar-Cohen , who is the Group Leader. The lab staff is Dr. Xiaoqi Bao, Dr. Zensheu Chang, Dr. Sean Leary, Dr. Virginia Olazábal, Dr. José-María Sansiñena, and Dr. Stewart Sherrit. Concerned with innovation and technology transfer to space, medical and other fields.

At the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea.

Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique at Marseille, France.

Includes links to articles. Research and development includes focus on composite materials using leaky Lamb waves and Polar Backscattering, robotic NDE, and sensors.

Provides an environment where professionals can join together to investigate the use of very high frequency sound waves in medical diagnosis and treatment along with other medical imaging bioeffects endeavors.

Activities span most of electrical engineering, with research in signal processing, communications, learning systems, non-destructive testing, microwave systems, and control. They are responsible for over 30 courses.

RockPhysics Laboratory: Acoustic Microscopy of Rocks, Physical Properties of rocks and sediments

The Epidemiology Ultrasound Research Laboratory (URL) is a shared resource that provides non-invasive vascular testing of research quality for studies ongoing in the Department of Epidemiology. The URL is part of the support structure for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Cardiovascular Institute of Preventative Heart Care Center, at the UPMC University Center in Oakland.

Undertaking research into novel ultrasonic applications, medical ultrasound, prototype ultrasonic transducers and techniques, and non-destructive testing and evaluation methods.

Establishment of the Ultrasound Laboratory at the University of Toledo started from September, 1997, after the lab director relocated from the Mayo Clinic/Foundation, Rochester, Minnesota, to the University of Toledo as a professor and received a long-term grant award from the National Institute of Health (NIH) for developing a high frame rate 3D ultrasound imaging system. The University of Toledo has provided large lab space and offices. In addition, the University has provided funds for the lab construction, equipment purchasing, and support for personnel.

An inter-departmental, multi-disciplinary organization dedicated to ultrasound education, research, and technology development for the academic, industrial and medical communities.
