About the FUTURE Fund
Since the 1990s the AIUM FUTURE Fund has been making an impact in the lives of ultrasound sonographers, researchers, and physicians around the world - aimed at improving the quality of care provided to their patients and their educational endeavors.
The FUTURE Fund supports pioneering researchers, educators, and practitioners in developing exciting technologies and applications for the future of medical ultrasound. Grant recipients have already begun investigating the use of ultrasound to prevent strokes, improve women's health care, diagnose macular degeneration, decrease medical costs, and aid in cancer treatment. The diversity of ultrasound applications is constantly evolving and so too are the opportunities available through the FUTURE Fund.
