Tuesday, September 14 at 9:30 to 10:15 pm (China Standard Time) / 9:30 to 10:15 am (Eastern Time)
The IEEE UFFC-S Industry Engagement Committee invites you to a break time discussion: The Virtual Round Tables event at IEEE IUS 2021!
We prepared two topics for you and invited renowned hosts and speakers to lead the discussions:
- CMUTs from research to product – Challenges and opportunities
- GPU/TPU based computing in Ultrasound
