With small animals being widely used in biomedical research, in vivo small-animal whole-body imaging plays an increasingly essential role. Used in small-animal research, current imaging techniques have serious limitations that Sonamed Technologies is directly addressing. The firm is developing and fabricating in vivo ultrasound imaging systems providing easily readable, anatomically correct cross-sectional images of small laboratory animals for research and clinical use. The firm's multidisciplinary team has broad expertise in industrial and biomedical acoustics, ultrasound transducer development, phased array applications, signal processing and image reconstruction algorithms and software, as well in preclinical and clinical evaluation of the prototype equipment.
