This project advances ultrasound by enabling speed-of-sound (SoS) imaging using standard hand-held devices. SoS is a promising biomarker that reveals tissue composition and disease states, with applications in breast cancer and fatty liver diagnosis. Unlike bulky, double-sided systems, this approach works with existing clinical and portable ultrasound tools, supporting real-time, non-invasive, and accessible diagnosis. Clinical studies show promising results for breast cancer and density assessment, aiming to reduce reliance on costly, ionising, or invasive alternatives
Can Deniz Bezek holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Middle East Technical University. He is currently pursuing his doctoral degree at Uppsala University, focusing on developing novel techniques for medical ultrasound imaging. His research has been published in leading journals, presented at international conferences in his field, and recognized with awards such as for best poster and international travel grants. Motivated by a vision of making medical diagnosis faster, more affordable, and widely accessible, he develops innovative imaging and analysis methods and works on their integration into clinical practice to improve healthcare for patients worldwide.more
