Medical imaging product development
Developing advanced imaging systems for real-time clinical insight
At TTP, we help teams develop advanced medical imaging systems and imaging-enabled devices that translate complex technologies into clinically useful products. Whether imaging is the core function of the system or an enabling capability within a broader medical device, successful development depends on balancing technical performance, usability, workflow integration and scalability.
Delivering reliable insight in complex clinical environments
Medical imaging devices have to perform in demanding real-world settings, where image quality, speed, reliability and usability all shape clinical value. A successful system must deliver the right information, at the right moment, in a form clinicians can trust and act on.
At TTP, we bring together expertise in sensing, optics, ultrasound, electronics, software, signal processing, robotics, human factors and system integration to solve the technical challenges that can limit performance, adoption or scalability.
With nearly 40 years of experience in complex system development, we help turn ambitious imaging concepts into robust product architectures, integrated prototypes and scalable, commercially viable technologies.
I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with TTP over the past 20 years, focused on solving very diverse and complex engineering challenges, and required to deliver breakthrough product technology to the market. They’ve been incredible partners and fully integrated members of our R&D team and have shared tremendous passion, energy, and drive to succeed to help support our physicians and their patients.

Helping you turn ultrasound technology into clinically adopted medical devices
Ultrasound remains one of the most versatile technologies in medical device development, supporting applications from diagnostic imaging and real-time surgical guidance to sensing, navigation, therapy and minimally invasive intervention. Whether ultrasound is the core modality or an enabling capability within a broader medical device, successful development requires careful consideration of transducer design, electronics, signal processing, software, usability and system integration.
At TTP, we have a solid track record helping teams explore, develop and productise ultrasound-enabled medical technologies, from early imaging concepts and beamforming approaches to integrated devices and clinically viable platforms. Our Software Defined Ultrasound system supports rapid prototyping of new imaging methods and transducer concepts, helping innovators test approaches earlier, reduce technical risk and move more confidently from experimentation to real-world clinical applications.
Our work in this field includes supporting HistoSonics over a number of years on the Edison® journey - a non-invasive histotripsy system that uses focused ultrasound to mechanically destroy unwanted tissue.
Transducer design and microfabrication
Advanced imaging performance begins at the transducer. Whether developing conventional piezoelectric (PZT) arrays or next-generation MEMS-based technologies such as CMUT and PMUT, achieving the right balance of sensitivity, bandwidth and manufacturability is critical.
At TTP, we design and optimise transducers through a combination of modelling, simulation and hands-on fabrication. Our in-house microfabrication capabilities enable rapid iteration of MEMS designs, while our system-level understanding ensures transducer performance is aligned with the overall imaging architecture.
From early concept through to manufacturable designs, we help teams unlock new imaging capabilities and translate novel transducer technologies into robust, scalable solutions.

Medical device manufacturing at TTP
The hardest part of manufacturing isn’t volume, but the transition from design into regulated production. TTP bridges that gap by helping you develop the device and the manufacturing process in parallel, supporting agile clinical and early production builds. With no minimum volumes, no CMO lock-in, and no process IP constraints, you retain control of your product and supply chain.
Human-centred design and human factors engineering
At TTP, we design technology around its users because usability is essential, not optional. Our Human Factors team combines behavioural science, engineering and design to create solutions that are safe and widely adopted. Through human centred design and engineering, we help clients reduce risk, move faster and deliver market ready devices.
