New from the @CDecoders group: An implantable drug delivery device that could one day help to prevent recurrences of glioblastoma. The device, called LUCID, combines extended-release drug therapy with ultrasound transducers that use sound waves to help drugs spread farther through the brain and bypass the blood-brain barrier. Media Lab Prof. @dagdevirencanan is senior author of the study, out today in Device (@cellpressnews).

Researchers from the Media Lab’s @CDecoders group have developed a new approach to ultrasound imaging that allows the user to visualize a 3D augmented-reality image, making it easier to identify and analyze the object being scanned.
“For training, this could make ultrasound more intuitive and more understandable," says Prof. @dagdevirencanan. "On the clinical side, it could be less time-consuming, more accurate, and also give health care providers more peace of mind. They wouldn’t have to wonder if they missed anything."

Researchers in the Media Lab’s @cdecoders group are developing a portable ultrasound system that generates high-resolution, 3D images of breast tissue. Their second-generation prototype enables real-time, wide-angle 3D imaging.
The system requires no expertise and is designed for ease of use. It could enable earlier detection of breast cancer, and also allow for long-term monitoring following treatment, especially in areas with little access to medical clinics and trained ultrasound technicians.

The system could improve the training process for ultrasound technicians and other healthcare providers. It could also be deployed for use in hospitals, for tasks such as using ultrasound to place a needle in the right location for a biopsy.

“We chose to focus on breast cancer because it sits at the intersection of urgent medical need, clear technological gaps, and major societal impact.” In an interview with MedScriptum, Prof. @dagdevirencanan discusses her work developing new tools to diagnose breast tumors and monitor disease progression and the efficacy of treatment. medscriptum.org/en/a-breakth…

On Feb. 11 at 10am ET, join the @CDecoders group, led by Prof. @dagdevirencanan, for a special seminar with Rear Admiral Susan Blumenthal, MD, MPA (ret.). Dr. Blumenthal, who is a member of the MIT Media Lab Director's Circle and serves as the Honorary Chair of the Media Lab's WHx Program for Women’s Health, will share her remarkable story on women's health. mitmedialab.info/45TzsII

20 to 30 percent of all breast tumors are diagnosed between regular screenings. For some individuals at high risk for breast cancer, frequent ultrasound scanning in addition to regular mammograms could help to boost the number of tumors that are detected early. A portable ultrasound scanner developed by researchers in the @cdecoders group led by Prof. @dagdevirencanan could make it easier for breast ultrasounds to be performed more often, either at home or at a doctor’s office. news.mit.edu/2026/portable-u…
