SonoSite, Inc. (Nasdaq:SONO), the world leader in hand-carried
ultrasound, today announced the appointment of James M. Gilmore as
Vice President, Advanced Development and Ultrasound Engineering and
the promotion of Lee D. Dunbar to Vice President, Premium Products
Engineering.
Mr. Gilmore was one of the original engineers at SonoSite when the
company was spun off from ATL Ultrasound in 1998. He served as
Director, Transducer Engineering for six years and played a key role
in the development of the SonoSite 180(TM), iLook(R) and TITAN(R)
systems. In 2004, Mr. Gilmore joined GE Healthcare and served as
Global Engineering Manager for Global Ultrasound Probes until his
recent decision to rejoin SonoSite. At GE he managed a staff of over
60 engineers located in the US, China, Japan, Austria, France, Norway
and India and was responsible for all aspects of product definition,
design, development and manufacturing engineering support of
diagnostic ultrasound transducers. Mr. Gilmore's career in the
ultrasound industry includes engineering management positions at ATL
Ultrasound from 1991 through 1998 and at Diasonics from 1989 to 1991
as an acoustics engineer. He was honored as an ATL Technical Fellow
for innovation and technical leadership in advanced phased array and
multidimensional array projects and is named as an inventor on three
patents for transducer technology. Mr. Gilmore received both his BS in
electrical engineering and his MS in biomedical engineering from
Drexel University.
Mr. Dunbar's career in ultrasound technology spans more than 20
years. He joined SonoSite in 1999 as a member of the company's
technical team and helped develop the SonoSite 180, the company's and
industry's first hand-carried ultrasound product. He has been a key
technical contributor in all of the company's subsequent products and
prior to this promotion served as Director, Software Engineering. From
1992 to 1996 Mr. Dunbar held engineering management positions at ATL
Ultrasound, now part of Philips Medical Systems, and from 1985 to 1992
worked at Quantum Medical Systems, acquired by Siemens AG in 1990. He
is named as an inventor on a patent issued in 1995 for color flow
imaging algorithms and was honored as an ATL Technical Fellow for
leading the software architecture of ATL's highly successful HDI(R)
3000 product line. Mr. Dunbar received both his BS and MS degrees in
computer science from Washington State University.
"I am pleased to welcome Jim Gilmore back to SonoSite and
congratulate Lee Dunbar on his well deserved promotion," said Bradley
