The Air Force has a problem. They are tasked with moving critically injured and wounded patients thousands of miles across the globe. However, medicine at 30,000 feet, is not the same as medicine on the ground. They work in dark, cramped conditions monitoring multiple patients simultaneously. Meanwhile, the vibration, noise and turbulence render many standard methods of patient monitoring completely useless. That is what our product is being developed to address.
The product we are going to produce is a hardware and software device which will allows for ultrasonic inspection and imaging of any shaped object when paired with a flexible array.
The product uses data obtained from ultrasonic transducer signals passed between elements of a flexible array (defined as some set of array elements arranged in an unknown configuration) to automatically determine the locations of each ultrasonic element of the array no matter what the surface configuration is.
Conventional ultrasound arrays used in the vast majority of medical imaging and nondestructive evaluation (NDE), are composed of ultrasound source/receiver elements arranged on a rigid backing substrate. This is done so that the ultrasonic wave-field can be excited and sampled from precisely known locations, which must be provided to any ultrasound imaging device as an input. This requirement has prohibited the use of flexible ultrasonic arrays in the past, except in special cases.
Our product can help federal agencies, medium-sized businesses, and healthcare organizations which want to perform non-invasive patient monitoring or NDE asset management by allowing the monitoring of a surface of various contours. Our product we are looking to construct will have the ability to image through a greater number of complex shaped surfaces without changing the hardware.
