Upon the conclusion of studies conducted under the “Medical Metrology Feasibility” Project, the Medical Metrology Laboratory of TUBITAK UME was formally established by decision of the TUBITAK Science Board on December 6, 2014.
The main objective of UME Medical Metrology Laboratory is to establish the traceability of measurement quantities relevant to medicine, to integrate the measurement quantities into the international metrology system through international comparisons and to ensure measurement unity by disseminating traceability to lower level laboratories within the country or abroad through calibration, measurement and test services. The other objective of the laboratory activities is to produce research projects in line with national priorities and the stakeholder demands. In this context, the laboratory has participated as a partner in research projects conducted within the European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP) and European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR) under EURAMET.
Currently, the operating region of the national standard covers a frequency range of 1 MHz - 15 MHz and a power range of 10 mW-150 W. With the radiation force balance installed in the laboratory, it is possible to measure the output power of High Intensity Focused Ultrasonic Transducers, which are widely used in medicine, up to 150 W. Systems have been established and projects are being produced for the applications of ultrasonic techniques in the field of health.
In addition, systems for performance testing of hearing aids and headphones have been established and services are also provided in this field.
