Project
Construction of a pulsatile flow phantom for optimization of pulsatility mapping by dynamic ultrasound localization microscopy

.UPIR scholarship from Polytechnique Montréal
Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA) from the NSERC
Jacynthe is a 3rd ye ear undergraduate student in biomedical engineering at Polytechnique Montreal. She joined the laboratory in October 2019 as part of a research initiation grant (UPIR) funded by Polytechnique. Her project aims to design and realize a pulsatile dynamic imaging phantom that allows the modeling of variable pulsatility in a blood vessel. More specifically, it involves the design, assembly and validation of a pulsatile dynamic phantom, and then, using the latter, the study of the accuracy of the measurement of pulsatility by dynamic ultrasound localization microscopy.
