December


November

  • Jerry L. Prince will be speaking at the University of Utah on Friday, November 14, 2014. The topic will be "Medical Image Synthesis Methods and Applications".
  • Despite having no prior ultrasound experience, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan uses the EchoFind software guidance to successfully navigate the EchoMark in a test phantom.
    The EchoSure team was invited as a featured presenter and exhibitor at TEDCO's 4th annual Maryland Entrepreneur Expo (http://expo.tedco.md/). Conference participants -- including newly elected Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan -- had the opportunity to try the live EchoFind software demo themselves. Even first-time ultrasound users were able to accurately navigate the test phantom and the team received tremendous positive feedback on their successful demonstration.
