European research groups are joining forces to develop a new
ultrasound system and improve treatment for heart patients. The Norwegian
Center for Cardiological Innovation (CCI) will play a key role.
The EU project, “Ultrasound guided cardiac arrhythmia
treatment" (USART), is starting up in November this year.
The CCI at Oslo University Hospital is one of 21 centres
granted status as a Centre for Research-based Innovation (SFI) by the Research
Council of Norway.
