Researcher Ruud van Sloun: Revolutionizing Ultrasound with Brain-Inspired Tech

Подробнее о видео

Ruud van Sloun researches how to use smart algorithms to make better and faster ultrasound images. Ultimately, he wants to make advanced diagnostics much more widely accessible. He conducts his research within the Department of Electrical Engineering and the group Signal Processing.

In this research group, various researchers conduct groundbreaking research with the aim of improving healthcare and keeping it accessible.

Inspired by the way our brain acquires and interprets information, Ruud van Sloun is developing algorithms that make ultrasound ‘see’ smarter. This way, the devices can filter out the noise and focus on the really important information that can be seen.

It is his dream not only to get the image sharper and clearer, but also to ensure that it can ultimately be much cheaper and more mobile. A solution for medical diagnostics in remote and poorer areas, but also for the general practitioner, for example.
