About Terason
Terason, a division of
Teratech Corporation began in 1994, drawing upon technology developed at
MIT’s 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 demanding requirements
of battlefield ultrasound. Recognizing that decades of breakthrough
research for the Department of Defense could be applied to the
challenges of mainstream ultrasound imaging, she formed the Terason
division. With initial key patents protecting the integrated circuit
technology she developed at MIT, Dr. Chiang dedicated Terason to the
development of a micro-miniaturized commercial ultrasound system.

Today, we continue to revolutionize ultrasound with developments in
high-performance portable systems. The new proprietary uSmart products
provide exceptional imaging capability and the advanced features and
functionality users have come to expect from Terason. These complete
ultrasound solutions optimize workflow, enhance clinical efficacy, and
increase productivity for everyday clinical needs. For more information,
