Resumo: This seminar will present two prototypes of a hardware, firmware, and software development and testing platform for ultrasound image generation. The prototypes were developed in a partnership between researchers from 5 universities and 2 research institutes, supported by the Ministry of Health through contracts with the National Health Fund (FNS) and FINEP. The universities involved were: UNICAMP (project leader), UFRJ, UFSCar, UTFPR, and USP (São Paulo and Ribeirão Preto campuses). The research institutes were: INCOR/SP and Instituto de Pesquisas Eldorado (IPE). The first prototype included the construction of equipment capable of assisting in diagnosis with B-mode, M-mode, and Doppler-mode images, as well as the development of 64-element phased array ceramic transducers. The first prototype was demonstrated in operation at the GECIIS (Health Industrial and Innovation Complex Management Group) meeting, led by the Ministry of Health with the participation of the Ministries of Planning and Science and Technology, as well as government agencies and development banks and industries linked to health. The second prototype was completed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with reduced costs and hardware size, connecting to a computer with a GPU board for processing signals sent by the hardware and generating images with total control of the matrix transducer elements for the formation and digital processing of ultrasound images. The characteristics of the two platforms will be presented and discussed, showing the gains for the country and the advantages and disadvantages compared to existing platforms on the market.

Palestra: Metrology improves experimental reliability of ultrasound applications: The role of measurement uncertainty

09:00 - 10:20

Local: Sala Reunião COPPETEC (Sala 2)

Local: Sala Virtual 2 - Link:meet.google.com/ucb-idir-xmy

Palestrante: Dr. Rodrigo Félix

Resumo: This lecture presents the fundamental role of measurement uncertainty in enhancing the reliability and reproducibility of ultrasound-based experiments. Grounded in the principles of metrology as defined by the International Vocabulary of Metrology (VIM), the talk addresses common misconceptions surrounding key terms such as true quantity value, repeatability, reproducibility, measurement error, accuracy, precision, and uncertainty. Misinterpretation of these concepts often leads to flawed experimental design and limits the comparability of results across different studies and laboratories. Particular emphasis is placed on measurement uncertainty as a rigorous quantitative descriptor of the quality of a result. The lecture demonstrates that uncertainty evaluation is not inherently complex, relying primarily on well-established statistical tools such as standard deviations and the Student’s t-distribution. The Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) is introduced as a structured framework for developing uncertainty budgets, integrating both Type A (statistical) and Type B (non-statistical) contributions. Focusing on ultrasound applications, the presentation discusses how inadequate treatment of uncertainty can compromise data interpretation and hinder technological advancement. Practical examples illustrate the consequences of neglecting metrological principles and the benefits of adopting a systematic approach to uncertainty estimation. By clarifying core concepts and presenting accessible methods for uncertainty evaluation, this lecture aims to provide researchers and practitioners with the necessary tools to improve measurement quality. Ultimately, the adoption of sound metrological practices supports more robust, transparent, and reproducible scientific outcomes in ultrasound and related fields.

Palestra: Ultrafast Doppler and functional ultrasound: a novel research platform in Uruguay for studying brain alterations.

11:00 - 12:30

Local: Auditório COPPETEC (Sala 1)

Local: Sala Virtual 1 - Link:meet.google.com/kgc-reio-rsm

Palestrante: Dr. Javier Brum

Resumo: With the development of ultrafast ultrasound imaging—capable of acquiring thousands of frames per second—the sensitivity of ultrasound to detect slow blood flow has increased by two orders of magnitude compared to the previous decade. This advancement enables the visualization of blood flow changes in small brain arterioles, which led to the introduction of ultrasound as a fully functional neuroimaging modality [1]. Similar to functional MRI and functional optical imaging, functional ultrasound (fUS) leverages neurovascular coupling to indirectly monitor neuronal activity through ultrasound Doppler signals. fUS inherits the well-known advantages of ultrasound imaging: it is safe, rapid, and capable of imaging deep tissue with high spatiotemporal resolution (100 μm, 100 ms). As a result, fUS has been successfully employed to map the activity of specific brain regions across various cognitive states in rodents, primates, and humans, establishing itself as a powerful tool for investigating brain dynamics and connectivity [2]. The aim of this talk is to review the major developments in ultrafast Doppler and fUS imaging, and to highlight their most recent applications, with special emphasis on the contributions of our group in Uruguay studying the neurodegenerative disease of Charcot-Marie-Tooth [3]–[5]. Specifically, in the work of Anzibar et al. [5], using fUS and functional connectivity analysis, we demonstrated that TrJ mice—an animal model of Charcot- Marie-Tooth disease—exhibit significantly diminished neurovascular responses and altered brain connectivity compared to wild-type controls. These findings suggest a central nervous system involvement that could shift our understanding of the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

Palestrante: Dr. Wilfrido Gómez-Flores

Resumo: Breast cancer is currently one of the leading causes of death from malignant tumors in women worldwide. Technologies for early detection of this disease are crucial for improving survival rates. Medical imaging plays a vital role in breast screening by detecting abnormalities, which are interpreted by radiologists trained in this field. To assist these specialists in analyzing images more efficiently, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have been developed. These systems utilize computer vision methods and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance images, detect abnormalities, segment images, and classify findings. CAD systems typically employ one of two AI approaches: machine learning, which relies on features defined by engineers, and deep learning, which uses artificial neural networks to learn features at various levels of abstraction automatically. Numerous studies have shown promising results with both approaches, suggesting that CAD systems have the potential for clinical use. However, despite the availability of some commercial CAD systems, their adoption within the medical community has been limited due to unresolved ethical and legal challenges. This presentation will address all these aspects to provide a comprehensive overview of AI use in breast cancer diagnosis.

Resumo: Cognitive function depends on the functional integrity of the brain, an organ without energetic reserves whose activity relies entirely on properly regulated blood flow and efficient extraction of oxygen and glucose. Therefore, a detailed assessment of cerebral hemodynamics—beyond mere measurements of blood velocity in large vessels—is essential to understand both normal physiology and pathological alterations. This talk will present recent developments and applications of advanced biomarkers derived from magnetic resonance imaging, aimed at analyzing cerebral hemodynamics. Modeling strategies based on physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) will be discussed, designed to robustly estimate the hemodynamic response function (HRF) as a biomarker of neurovascular coupling health. Additionally, results from various biomarkers in glioma, acute phase stroke, and adolescent development will be shown, illustrating the potential of these innovations to advance our understanding of cerebral physiology and to contribute to a more comprehensive assessment of brain health.
