United in Advancing Ultrasound and Photoacoustic Imaging Technologies
Meet the Partners Driving Innovation in Medical Imaging
The Med-IPUT Consortium brings together a multidisciplinary group of leading academic institutions, research organizations, and industry partners. Our collective expertise spans ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging, integrated photonics, materials science, and medical devices. By working together, we are accelerating the development and validation of innovative imaging solutions for improved cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
TNO (Coordinator) – The Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research As the coordinator, TNO leads the project with its extensive experience in research and development. TNO initiated the IPUT technology and focuses on optical, mechanical, and thermal system design, as well as systems engineering of photonic systems. They also collaborate with CITC for packaging design, manufacturing, and electrical assembly of the advanced PIC building blocks.
