FUSCLEAN Project

Title:
Combined optical imaging and ultrasound focusing for hand-held, non-invasive cleaning of implanted cerebrospinal fluid shunting devices in patients of hydrocephalus: initial design and proof-of-concept.
Type:
H2020 High Impact European Project in the ATTRACT Program (led by CERN), 2019-2020.
Principal investigator:
Prof.Dr. Emilio Gómez González (University of Seville, Spain). Dr. Javier Marquez Rivas.
Description:
This project presents the design and development of a handheld device for the application of image-guided focused ultrasound for preventive and non-invasive acoustic cleaning of implanted valves in patients with hydrocephalus.
