New technologies developed at the University of Rochester could soon help make ultrasound a more powerful tool for diagnosing cancer, liver disease, and other pathologies.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office recently issued four patents for diagnostic ultrasound technology developed by Kevin Parker, the William F. May Professor of Engineering at the University’s Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences, and his doctoral students. Parker says some of the technologies have already been licensed to startups that want to bring the advances into clinics for the benefit of patients everywhere.
