Stanford researchers have developed mutant Renilla luciferase proteins and reporter gene constructs which modify the physical characteristics of the Renilla luciferase protein for use in biological assays.
Researchers at Stanford have developed an in vivo drug release monitoring method using magnetic particle imaging (MPI). In vivo drug release monitoring is beneficial to doctors as it provides information to guide drug dosing and helps reduce therapeutic side effects.
Nonstationary image artifacts frequently arise in MRI from off-resonance and motion. Current methods to correct these nonstationary effects are computationally expensive. Stanford researchers have developed a new deep learning framework to improve image quality in minutes.
Stanford researchers have developed a method which can simultaneously observe two positron emitting isotopes using two distinct molecular probes and a modified PET scanner. This system enables the simultaneous observation of two different molecular processes.
Stanford researchers have prototyped a system to enhance the sensitivity of triple coincidences for multi-isotope PET by adding an extra detector dedicated for the detection of the third prompt gamma in coincidence with the annihilation photons.
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 at the Rao Lab have developed apoptosis imaging probes with an improved new molecular structure enabling high sensitivity and stability with better performance in vivo.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a ferumoxytol-based dual-modality imaging probe that allows for long-term stem cell tracking through MRI and early diagnosis of cell apoptosis through simultaneous fluorescence imaging.
Researchers in the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford have developed several novel small molecule agents designed to enhance photoacoustic imaging in living subjects.
Dr. Sanjiv Gambhir and colleagues have developed positron emission tomography (PET) tracers to clinically image bacterial infection. Despite significant developments in the microbiology of infection, bacterial infections remain a major health issue.
Stanford researchers have further developed a new technique for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The technique called hyperpolarized carbon-13 MRI dramatically increases the sensitivity for molecular processes.
