Medical Imaging
A pioneer in medical imaging technology for six decades, SRI conducts basic and applied medical imaging research and develops therapeutic, diagnostic, and nondestructive testing instrumentation. We also offer cell and molecular imaging services for drug discovery and development.
Ultrasound Technology
In the 1960s, SRI technology made ultrasound practical as a medical diagnostic tool. Today, several medical ultrasound manufacturers have produced products under license from us. We have also developed prototype imaging systems for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and commercial licensees. Our well-equipped labs offer experimental and clinical scanners and extensive software for ultrasonic components. SRI's researchers develop unique medical imaging methods, sophisticated transducer arrays, specialized electronics, lenses, antireflection materials, and other critical components for ultrasound technology products.
Tomographic Imaging
SRI's Microscience Engineering Laboratory is developing an X-ray source for tomographic imaging—an indispensable tool for medical diagnostics and research. The tool has potential to increase medical imaging speed and quality while reducing overall system size and complexity.
