- Additional information
- The research, for the first time, demonstrated that acoustic coupling and in vivo ultrasound imaging can be achieved with tolerated thermal generation in the lumen of porcine small intestines. The research has fundamentally impacted health outcomes for many millions of people suffering from gastrointestinal diseases, and led to a National Instruments Engineering Impact Award 2018 (http://uk.ni.com/impactawards/2018) and the Humanitarian Award of the 2019 National Instruments Global Engineering Impact Awards (https://www.ni.com/en-gb/events/niweek.html and http://www.sinapse.ac.uk/news/capsule-ultrasound-project-wins-humanitarian-engineering-impact-award). The research journey and outcomes are part of the permanent exhibition, Medical Marvels, at the Dundee Science Centre, Dundee, UK (http://www.dundeesciencecentre.org.uk/features/MedicalMarvels/).
