Tan Xin joined ImPhys as MSc student

Tan's project is about how ultrasound works in detecting brain activity. The project explores transcranial functional shear wave elastography which images neuromechanical coupling effects by shear waves. His supervisor is David Maresca.

He is a master student doing the Biomedical Engineering programme of the Medical Physics track.Tan will explore transcranial functional shear wave elastography which images neuromechanical coupling effects by shear waves. Shear wave is generated by focused ultrasound, but the skull disturbs the path of ultrasound. So, the aim of the project is to solve the difficulties caused by skull interference.
