Welcome to the Summer School on Advanced Ultrasound Imaging, which will be held at the Technical University of Denmark from Wednesday May 14 to Friday May 23, 2025.

News: August 23, 2024: The web site has now been created but not edited, so all information is from the summer school in 2024. It will soon be edited for the 2025 version

The summer school is organized by professor Jørgen Arendt Jensen and Associate Professor Billy Yiu at the Center for Fast Ultrasound Imaging at the Department of Health Technology, Technical University of Denmark along with faculty at the Department of Health Technology. The last day of the summer school will also give presentations about the research at CFU and will also present the latest research within advanced ultrasound imaging.

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. You must bring your own laptop with the two programs installed.
