This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Initiation (CFDA 47.041) grant award to Oakland University will develop a low-cost, point-of-care, 3D wireless ultrasound system and associated quantitative techniques to improve breast cancer diagnosis in low-resource settings. The $200,000 project aims to create 3D tissue volumes from wireless ultrasound data and utilize machine learning to extract imaging biomarkers that can detect cancer. The award will also support the integration of ultrasound curriculum and hands-on training into undergraduate programs as well as educational outreach to K-12 students. This interdisciplinary effort seeks to establish a foundation for more accessible ultrasound technologies and increase access to critical cancer screening tools, particularly in underserved regions.
