At the 2025 , Siemens Healthineers showcased meaningful progress in ultrasound technology, reaffirming our commitment to improving diagnostic performance for clinicians and patients. Gabriela Torres, PhD and Arati Gurung, PhD and their co-authors presented research tackling some of the most pressing challenges in elastography, liver disease, musculoskeletal conditions, and breast cancer diagnostics.
Torres' work in elastography was a highlight of this year's conference. Her research is helping to advance non-invasive diagnostic capabilities, giving clinicians more reliable tools for accurate patient assessment. The positive response from the medical community underscores the dedication of Siemens Healthineers to meaningful innovation.
Our contributions at AIUM 2025 reflect our ongoing mission to transform healthcare through technology and collaboration. We're excited to continue building partnerships that drive progress in diagnostic imaging.
We caught up with Gabriela Torres, PhD, Staff Ultrasound Engineer at Siemens Healthineers, who AIUM recognized for her outstanding work in ultrasound elastography during the Great 8 Scientific Session. She shared her thoughts on this achievement, her inspirations, and advice for the next generation of researchers.
