Oldelft Ultrasound participates in the IHI SEISMIC project

Delft, The Netherlands – Oldelft Ultrasound today announced that the SEISMIC research consortium has been awarded funding from the Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) to transform neurosurgery through the seamless integration of minimally invasive surgical techniques and advanced imaging technologies. The EUR 23.5 million public funding will be complemented by EUR 14.9 million in in-kind contributions and additional resources from industry partners, supporting a five-year research and innovation program that also includes eight clinical studies.

 Oldelft will develop an advanced 4D ultrasound probe designed to visualize the brain during cryoablation treatment of brain tumors. The probe will be optimized for minimally invasive procedures, enabling real-time imaging guidance in a clinical setting. Within the SEIMIC project, Oldelft will lead the probe development and work closely with US4US to integrate the technology into the overall imaging system. Erasmus MC will contribute expertise in imaging and clinical workflow, with the ultimate goal of testing the probe in a clinical environment during the course of the project.
