203 ElastUS in progress

Local ultrasound elastography – validation and equipment

Intervention area

Mobility

Start date

June 1, 2025

End date

March 31, 2026

The ElastUS project aims to develop and validate a portable ultrasound elastography technology for localized assessment of soft tissue elasticity. By integrating flexible ultrasound probes with a novel signal processing approach, the project paves the way for a clinically compatible palpation-based tool to improve management of musculoskeletal pain.
