Take-off grant for Guillaume Renaud
Guillaume Renaud received a NWO take-off grant for his project: "Quantitative ultrasound imaging inside bones". With this safe, portable and affordable technology, he wish to improve patient comfort, as well as the efficiency and quality of the management of bone and joint diseases.
Project: Quantitative ultrasound imaging inside bones
Bone and joint disorders are highly prevalent and engender high socio-economic costs. Their development involves changes in bone anatomy, bone tissue structural quality and blood flow inside bone. Today, these changes are partly diagnosed with x-ray, magnetic resonance or nuclear imaging, which are pricy or ionizing technologies. Our team recently unlocked ultrasound imaging inside bones. This project aims to establish the commercial viability of a company based on this new ultrasound technology. With this safe, portable and affordable technology, we wish to improve patient comfort, as well as the efficiency and quality of the management of bone and joint diseases.
