Dr Dermot O’Rourke, Dr Max Lavaill and Mr Ahmed Sewify welcomed Dr. Helen Ingoe, on a visit as part of a collaborative research project with the Medical Engineering Research Facility (MERF) at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). This ambitious research endeavor, funded by a seed grant, is aptly titled 'Toward Precision Tracking of the Shoulder Joint Using Ultrasound Tomography.
Shoulder research has taken a giant leap forward with this innovative project. The use of tracking markers and ultrasound technology promises to revolutionise our understanding of shoulder joint movement. At the heart of this project is the idea of ultrasound tomography is not merely about capturing static images of the shoulder but delving deep into the dynamic aspects of its movement. By combining ultrasound and tracking markers, researchers can monitor the shoulder's intricate motions in real time, creating a detailed model of its mobility.
This collaboration embodies the spirit of interdisciplinary research, where the worlds of medicine and engineering seamlessly merge. By working together, clinicians and engineers are poised to unlock new possibilities in diagnosing and treating shoulder issues.
