Stanford researchers have developed a method that allows X-ray and CT imaging to achieve the same signal with two to three orders of magnitude less X-ray dosage.
Differential Phase Contrast (DPC) X-ray imaging measures both absorption and index of refraction of materials being imaged. This technique has several advantages compared to traditional absorption-only X-ray imaging.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a probe, NIRDye812, which improves contrast between healthy and diseased tissues for fluorescence-guided cancer surgery applications.
Researchers in the Molecular Imaging Instrumentation Laboratory at Stanford University have developed a PET (positron emission tomography) detector and front end readout assembly that can operate in a high field MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) system.
Stanford researchers at the Poon Lab have developed a method for battery-less, short range transmission of data with very low power and very high data rates. It can potentially replace current near field communications (NFC) systems due to these advantages.
Stanford researchers at the Kasevich Lab have developed a module that can attach to any standard optical system or sensor for wide-field, time-resolved imaging.
Stanford researchers have developed an exceptionally fast, sensitive, and compact X-ray imaging system for distinguishing liquids and other materials in aviation security applications.
A Stanford researcher has developed two advanced approaches for the positron sensitive high-energy photon sensor technology for Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
Stanford Researchers have developed a method for a high-resolution photon imaging device with high fill factor (the ratio of the area of the active imaging elements vs. the dead area occupied by non-imaging elements).
Stanford researchers have patented a novel concept for a position sensitive high-energy photon sensor device for high resolution radiation imaging that can enhance capabilities of Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
Current techniques for reconstructing images in positron emission tomography (PET) cannot correctly use events in which at least one photon of a pair has scattered in tissue (also known as scatter coincidence events).
Researchers in Prof. Mark Schnitzer's laboratory have developed a two-photon scanning microscope for imaging neural activity in a 2x2mm field of view while maintaining a fast scanning rate (~10Hz image update frequency).
Stanford researchers have developed a lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticle (UCNP) that emits very photostable and non-blinking light, and is bright enough to delineate tumor boundaries to the naked eye during surgery.
Stanford researchers have designed a method to increase the photoyield of thin film CsBr/metal photocathodes by activation with electron bombardment, allowing efficient operation at UV and longer incident light wavelengths.
