The company will expand its portfolio to include mid-range and portable devices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough these joint projects, we can innovate in ultrasound technology and applications, and in turn influence Carestream\u2019s technology roadmap. We seek to generate a pipeline of clinically validated ultrasound technologies for new products,\u201d said Ajay Anand, PhD, a Carestream system engineer and principal investigator who worked closely with the University researchers to develop the collaboration. \u201cIn addition, we have an opportunity to really enhance the medical ultrasound technology ecosystem in the Rochester area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration is administered by the Center for Emerging and Innovative Sciences, one of 15 Centers for Advanced Technology funded by NYSTAR, a division of the New York State Department of Economic Development.
