post-doctoral fellowship : Development of a 3D platform for Passive Acoustic Mapping of cavitation

CDD - 1 year - Début : July
Deadline for applications : May 30, 2023
Missions :
Within the CAVIIAR ANR Project framework, the candidate will have to evaluate the feasibility of a dual-probe mapping based on two commercial matrix arrays with electromagnetic tracking of their positions. He will then develop a 3D navigation and imaging platform combining one or two open ultrasound scanners connected to two matrix arrays, a tracking unit giving translational and rotational data of each probe, a 7-axis robot that will give reference positions of the probes in an evaluation step, and a 3D navigation station providing tools for communication with other devices, reconstruction and visualization in a 3D virtual environment with fusion capability of active and passive US images. The platform will aim at providing dual-array 3D PAM of cavitation events triggered in agar-based phantoms with millimetric or sub-millimetric resolution in any direction using two commercial matrix-array probes. This project is a collaboration between the “Laboratory of Therapeutic Applications of Ultrasound” (LabTAU) and the “Centre de Recherche en Acquisition et Traitement de l'Image pour la Santé” (CREATIS), the candidate will work with researchers of both teams.
time period: 1 year
Scheduled to start mid July 2023
PROFIL RECHERCHÉ

Formations requises :

Candidates will typically have a PhD degree in biomedical engineering or acoustics with a strong experience in instrumentation, device interface, communication and programming in the field of medical imaging.

Compétences requises :

Data analysis (interpretation, discussions and presentation of scientific results, writing of technical reports and scientific papers) as well as programming skills in C++ (ideally ITK, VTK), MATLAB, CAD (ideally 3DSlicer) and signal processing/transfer (ideally OpenIGTLink) are desirable.
