The Spanish Ultrasonics Society was created to promote activities, training, networking and technology transfer in ultrasonic technologies, to foster cooperation between research groups, industry and relevant sectors. Although the seminal idea of founding an ultrasound network in Spain dates back to the 2000s, it was not until 2023, in a meeting during the 54th Spanish Congress of Acoustics, that the network was consolidated and the society’s activities began.
The Team
We invite all researchers and industrial partnership, as well as healthcare interested people, to join the society and contribute to its growth. If you want to join the society and have any idea to foster the network, do not hesitate to join the society!
Our Philosophy
The Spanish Ultrasonics Society is an open association and membership is free of charge. We aim to project the research activities and results of Spanish researchers, making them visible and accessible for other groups and for biomedical, industrial or agri-food partnerships.
Activities
We offer visibility for the actions taking place in the Spanish ultrasonics community using social networks, email list, special events, meetings and special sessions in conferences, as well as training activities.
List of participants
Instituto de Instrumentación para Imagen Molecular
Universitat Politècnica de València / CSIC
The Ultrasound Medical and Industrial laboratory belongs to the “Instituto de Instrumentación para Imagen Molecular”, a joint center of Spanish Research Council (CSIC) and Universitat Politècnica de Válencia. It is devoted to research on ultrasound technologies for biomedical imaging and therapy, as well as technology transfer to industry.
Instituto de Tecnologías Físicas y de la Información Torres Quevedo
CSIC
The ITEFI is a research institute of the Spanish Research Council (CSIC).
Ultrasonics Lab
Universidad de Granada
The Ultrasonics Lab researches in the interface between engineering, physics, medicine and computational mechanics to create new fundamental knowledge and applied concepts and technologies to advance clinical and industrial elastography, diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound.
Grupo de Análisis y Simulación de Procesos Agroalimentarios
Universitat Politècnica de València
ASPA group belong to Univeristat Politécnica de València and has specialized in the use of electromagnetic and acoustic technologies for the improvement and intensification of agri-food industry processes, using both classical methodologies of physico-chemical analysis and technologies based on ultrasound for product evaluation.
Grupo de Acústica Aplicada
Universitat d’Alacant
The Applied Acoustics group belongs to the Institute of Physics Applied to Sciences and Technologies of the University of Alicante, and develops industrial and environmental applications such as biomass quantification in fish farms and low-frequency NDT ultrasound applications.
Grupo de Física Nuclear y Instituto de Física de Partículas
Universidad Complutense de Madrid
The IPARCOS institute belongs to the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. They develop novel acoustic and ultrasound systems to monitor proton therapy devices by tracking the acoustic waves as a result of tissue-proton interactions. They also develop algorithms to reconstruct and map the radiation beam for accurate dosimetry during therapy.
UpnaLab: Future Interactive Devices
Universidad Pública de Navarra
UPNALAB combine cutting-edge technology to create the most innovative interactive devices. Their research is based on using the latest technologies to create interactive devices, for example using acoustic forces generated by ultrasound phased arrays to manipulate particles and create holographic displays.
