Conformable Decoders

Research Group directed by Assist. Prof. @dagdevirencanan - Converting the patterns of nature and the human body into beneficial signals and energy at @medialab

[MIT Media Lab @medialab]

Researchers from the Media Lab’s @cdecoders group have developed a new approach to ultrasound imaging that allows the user to visualize a 3D augmented-reality image, making it easier to identify and analyze the object being scanned. The system could improve the training process for ultrasound technicians and other healthcare providers. It could also be deployed for use in hospitals, for tasks such as using ultrasound to place a needle in the right location for a biopsy.

“We chose to focus on breast cancer because it sits at the intersection of urgent medical need, clear technological gaps, and major societal impact.” In an interview with MedScriptum, Prof. @dagdevirencanan discusses her work developing new tools to diagnose breast tumors and monitor disease progression and the efficacy of treatment. https://t.co/rhWcUCKC1y

A Breakthrough in Breast Cancer Screening: An Interview with MIT’s Canan Dağdeviren https://t.co/UAWzlIXnPn via @MedScriptum

[MIT Media Lab @medialab]

On Feb. 11 at 10am ET, join the @CDecoders group, led by Prof. @dagdevirencanan, for a special seminar with Rear Admiral Susan Blumenthal, MD, MPA (ret.). Dr. Blumenthal, who is a member of the MIT Media Lab Director's Circle and serves as the Honorary Chair of the Media Lab's WHx Program for Women’s Health, will share her remarkable story on women's health. https://t.co/DBneLQ5Q8E

20 to 30 percent of all breast tumors are diagnosed between regular screenings. For some individuals at high risk for breast cancer, frequent ultrasound scanning in addition to regular mammograms could help to boost the number of tumors that are detected early. A portable ultrasound scanner developed by researchers in the @cdecoders group led by Prof. @dagdevirencanan could make it easier for breast ultrasounds to be performed more often, either at home or at a doctor’s office. https://t.co/1r8wdSVdW6

As of today, our dear friend Amanda Nguyen, the first Vietnamese-American astronaut, took our wearable ultrasound patch to the space—with the first ever only female crew space flight in history🚀👩🏻‍🚀

[Conformable Decoders @CDecoders]

The wearable ultrasound patch, developed in our Conformable Decoders group and our newly established women’s health program (WHx), is designed for operator-independent, large-area imaging. This could enable continuous health monitoring in space.
