Terason, a division of Teratech Corp., draws upon technology developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT; Boston, MA, USA) Lincoln Laboratory. Dr. Alice Chiang, CEO and chairman of the board, founded the company to apply developments in the fields of radar, sonar, and telecommunications technologies to the challenging requirements of battlefield ultrasound. With initial key patents protecting the integrated circuit technology she developed at MIT, Dr. Chiang established Terason for the development of a microminiaturized commercial ultrasound system.
