Stanford inventors have developed an early-stage screening method to diagnose abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). AAA is a common cardiovascular disease with high prevalence in European men 65 years and above.
Stanford researchers from the Khuri-Yakub group have designed an improved, high spatial resolution ultrasonic neuromodulation device that implements chip waveform instead of continuous wave PIRF.
A common hurdle for many drug delivery applications is getting the desired compounds to the targeted cells or receptors. Additional barriers of achieving the therapeutic drug concentration and necessary drug diffusion are also present even after successful targeted delivery.
Stanford researchers have demonstrated the application of pulsed Focused Ultrasound (pFUS), to non-invasively enhance the function and engraftment of pancreatic islets following transplantation.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a device capable of delivering ultrasonic neuromodulation to defined areas of the brain while simultaneously recording neuronal activity with cell-type specificity.
Stanford researchers have built a sound powered, wireless medical implant. The implant contains a piezoelectric energy receiver, an integrated circuit chip, and a loop antenna.
Stanford researchers have designed a non-invasive, low power ultrasonic neuromodulation device which can target tissue deep in the brain with high spatial-temporal resolution.
Engineers at the Khuri-Yakub Group have designed a non-surgical alternative for treating epilepsy using ultrasonic technology which can detect, localize, and suppress epileptic seizures in epileptic patients.
Stanford researchers have proposed a novel, in vivo, real-time epifluorescence imaging method in the second near-infrared region using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs).
Stanford researchers have developed a novel and efficient method for generating real-time 3D volumetric computed tomography (CT) images with 2D single or few-view projections, instead of several hundreds of projections as required in existing CT imaging system.
Stanford researchers have demonstrated a new passive cavitation mapping algorithm based on sound localization of multiple scatters of cavitation. It shows improved resolution as compared to existing passive cavitation mapping algorithms based on a basic beamforming.
An interdisciplinary team of Stanford researchers is developing a dual axis confocal (“DAC”) microscope system for in vivo imaging of tissues at the cellular scale.
Stanford researchers at the Airan Lab have developed a new method for robust and spatiotemporally precise non-invasive neuromodulation that could transform both basic and clinical neuroscience.
