Acoustical Imaging

The mission of the section Acoustical Imaging is to provide high-quality measurement, imaging and inversion techniques to carry out acoustical imaging in various high-potential application fields and to obtain accurate medium properties of the imaged object at a resolution that is far beyond that of today’s imaging systems.

The current application areas are medical imaging (0.1 to 5 MHz scale), seismic imaging (2-250 Hz scale) and non-destructive material testing (0.5-20 MHz scale).

We especially aim at becoming a world expert in the field of ultrasonic imaging for medical applications, both with respect to the diagnosis and the actual medical treatments.

Our laboratory, directed by Dr. ir. D.J. Verschuur, belongs to the Department of Imaging Science & Technology within the Faculty of Applied Sciences.
The research in seismic imaging is part of the DELPHI consortium, sponsored by companies from the internal oil and gas industry.
We also belong to the Research School (in Dutch: onderzoekschool) Centre for Technical Geoscience (CTG).
