Welcome to the Summer School on Advanced Ultrasound Imaging, which will be held at the Technical University of Denmark from Wednesday May 24 to Friday June 2, 2023.

News: January 3, 2023: The web-site for the summer school has now been updated. The program for the school will soon be posted at: schedule.html.

The summer school is organized by professor Jørgen Arendt Jensen at the Center for Fast Ultrasound Imaging at the Department of Health Technology, Technical University of Denmark. A number of guest lectures will be added to the program soon.

The aim is to give a hands-on introduction to advanced ultrasound imaging and its theoretical and practical basis. The topics for this summer school will be advanced ultrasound methods including Synthetic Aperture imaging for anatomic, flow, functional and super resolution imaging. Imaging in both 2-D with ordinary arrays and in 3-D with row-column arrays will be described. The attendants will have the possibility of acquiring data using Verasonics scanners and use this in their project conducted during the summer school. This curriculum includes the concepts of linear acoustic systems, spatial impulse responses, simulation, signal processing, contrast agents and advanced imaging. The course consists of a set of lectures given by international experts in ultrasound synthetic aperture imaging in 2-D and 3-D, cMUT and row-column probes, contrast agents, super resolution imaging and signal processing coupled with exercises and project work. During the course you will have the ability of both working with simulated as well as measured data from Verasonics scanners acquired using synthetic aperture imaging in both 2-D and 3-D. This will include both anatomic (B-mode) and flow data

You can obtain 2.5 ECTS points for the course. The exercises uses Matlab and the Field II program for the simulation of ultrasound imaging systems. It is suggested that you bring your own laptop with the two programs installed.

Registration for the summer school cost 1000 euro (7,500 d.kr.), and the registration deadline is May 1, 2023.
