Sculpting therapeutic ultrasound at the microscale
The MITUS lab at TU Delft is a team of engineers working on the next generation implantable and wearable therapeutic ultrasound technology. Our aim is to develop new methods and techniques to minimize size and power consumption of therapeutic ultrasound devices while augmenting its capabilities, from precise beam focusing and steering to acoustic holography. To achieve this, our work spans analog and mixed-signal integrated electronics, micro and nanofabrication in a cleanroom environment, and acoustic physics. Our prototypes are validated across scales, from benchtop/in vitro systems to pre-clinical models and humans.
