Verasonics’ Latest Advances for Research Ultrasound
In the October issue of their Planewave newsletter, Verasonics will be sharing their latest advances for Research Ultrasound that were introduced at the 2019 IEEE IUS (Glasgow), the ASNT Conference (Las Vegas), the Acoustical Society of America (San Diego), and through Vantage System training.
About Verasonics, a Leader in Research Ultrasound
The Verasonics team is made up of professionals that include engineers, scientists, and technical specialists with decades of combined ultrasound research experience. Our mission is to provide developers and researchers with the most leading-edge, flexible tools and applications in research ultrasound. Research fields include advances for research ultrasound, including biomedical ultrasound, earth sciences, materials science, and the physics of ultrasonics and acoustics. Researchers across North and South America, Australia, Asia, and Europe, use Verasonics system solutions for the advancement of their ultrasound research efforts. Researchers focused on potential outcomes and advances investigative will find products address their concerns.
Following are some of Verasonics’ latest advances for research ultrasound.
Advances for Research Ultrasound
Together with the Focused Ultrasound Foundation, Verasonics introduces numerous enhancements to its focused ultrasound collection of 
products. Currently, there are cutting-edge FUS packages being developed providing turn-key innovations for ultrasound-guided focused research. Key features of the FUS Elite include the following.
TSI (Thermal Strain Imaging)
Enhanced GUI ( Graphical User Interface) for 3D treatment planning and delivery
Transducer positioning technologies for optimal treatment control that are easy to use
The ability to rate the imaging transducer, perfect for collecting multiple 2D slices of 3D volume
Volume Imaging
Using our multiple Vantage 256™ systems, we continue to be innovators in coming up with new strategies for acquiring volume datasets using high-channel-count approaches and multiplexed acquisition (having a single Vantage 256 system). Using the UTA 1024-MUX with one Vantage 256 system makes it possible for ultrasound researchers to capture images with identical resolution.
Advances for Research Ultrasound | UTA
Using the UTA 1024-MUX with a single Vantage 256 makes it possible for researchers to capture images with identical resolution. In comparison to multiple Vantage 256 platforms, the single version trades off acquisition speed by utilizing multiple apertures. This makes it possible for users to achieve image quality and frame rate that fits their application.
Artificial Intelligence Capability
Verasonics has developed a tutorial to assist users who want to work with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. The tutorial will guide users through the steps of producing an application that elevates machine learning and detecting arbitrary objects in ultrasound research image data.
New User-Programmable Image Reconstruction
Verasonics has enhanced the Vantage platforms image reconstruction software, now including user-programmable image reconstruction. This new enhancement is ideal for Vantage system users that work with materials with different speed-of-sound properties, or varying properties of refraction.
Full-page Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Verasonics is developing a new GUI to greatly improve the ease of use of imaging with the Vantage System. The New GUI provides accessibility to the following.
Common ultrasound-imaging controls
Standard measurements like area and distance
Mode selection to get access to some basic imaging modes and high-image-quality scripts
An easy-to-customize data management system with regard to capturing, storing, annotating, and exporting receive data, clips, and images
Data File Storage Functionality
Verasonics has created a cutting-edge process class in order to define data export. In addition, users will be able to import operations to data files that are stored on disk. The new storage-class feature is incorporated within the sequence-programming framework. It provides an efficient method to import sequentially, export receive, or image data at any event in the acquisition sequence. In addition, the tool provides an optimized data compression procedure for almost instant streaming as well as minimal storage.
