We believe that high-quality healthcare technologies should be equitable and widely accessible. Ultrasound is growing rapidly as a diagnostic and therapeutic modality due to its low cost, non-ionizing nature, and portability, and has the potential to significantly impact healthcare delivery.ย The Medical Ultrasound Engineering (MUSE) Lab at IIT Gandhinagar aims to develop and translate innovative ultrasound-based techniques to aid in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases. Research efforts are multidisciplinary and are grounded in principles of biomedical engineering, imaging, acoustics, signal processing, and instrumentation.
