EDI’s Dans Laksis is taking part in the European Signal Processing  Conference at the end of August, as part of the BoMUS project. On the first day of the conference, speakers offered a variety of training sessions on signal processing. During the following days of the conference, researchers from all over Europe presented their achievements in pet science as well as scientific posters.

Dans’s paper “Wavelet transform based decomposition of ultrasound signals for cortical bone model evaluation”, will be presented at the conference on Friday.On Tuesday it was presented as a poster.  “Wavelet transform based decomposition of ultrasound signals for cortical bone model evaluation” has been published in “EURASIP”. The paper summarises some of the results of the BoMUS project.

The goal of the project is to explore the scientific basis of a new ultrasound technology (BoMUS) in order to comprehensively characterize the condition of bones and muscles in terms of tissue composition and structure. Project collaboration partner: Riga Technical University. The BoMUS technology is based on enhanced ultrasound signal processing obtained by scanning the human extremities using various acoustic modes and employing image recognition methods. Decision-making rules or multiple informative ultrasound indicators help assess the relevant factors of interest (FOIs) that determine the quality of bone and muscle tissues.
