Ultrasound Education Technologies

What Ultrasound Education Technologies does

Ultrasound Education Technologies, Inc. (UET) is a Detroit-based, privately held professional services firm founded in 2011 as a spin-out from NASA and National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) funded research. The originating program developed computer- and video-based educational tools to enable non-physician astronauts and cosmonauts on the International Space Station to perform medical care, which required the creation of unique, high-fidelity photo-realistic 3D anatomic modeling capabilities that now form the company's technical core.

UET commercializes that modeling capability through three project-based product lines: Medical Illustrations (high-fidelity 3D anatomy-based static imagery positioned as a higher-quality, lower-cost alternative to traditional hand-drawn medical illustration), Medical Animations (dynamic demonstrations of procedures and anatomy with highlighting, labeling, and narration), and Trial Exhibits (custom medicolegal visual aids developed in collaboration with attorneys and in-house physician medicolegal experts, with real-time web-based review). Underlying production relies on proprietary 3D anatomic models that can be modified to depict pathologies, procedures, and device interactions.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, project-based professional services engagements. The primary customer segment is law firms requiring medicolegal exhibits for medical malpractice and personal injury cases, with secondary segments in medical education and the healthcare industry (medical device and pharmaceutical companies). The company operates with 11-50 employees, sells via direct enterprise sales supported by an SEO-optimized website and contact-form intake, and is led by CEO Dr. Scott Dulchavsky (Chairman of Surgery and Surgeon in Chief at Henry Ford Health System) and CTO Neil Rudzinski (20+ years in 3D content creation).
