A team of Stanford engineers have developed a patented integrated circuit to amplify and digitize pulse signals from silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) and avalanche photodiode (APD) -based semiconductor photodetectors for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) applications while prov
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 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 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).
Stanford researchers have developed a statistical method to map tissue activity distribution and photon attenuation, correcting for attenuation in real time without a transmission scan, using Positron Emission Tomography.
Researchers in Prof. Ronald K. Hanson's laboratory have developed a non-intrusive gas sensor designed for high performance temperature and species concentration measurements in high pressure, particulate laden environments.
Running chemotherapeutic drug screens on tumor biopsies ex vivo has the potential to increase patient survival by personally matching them to the drug which is the most effective against their particular tumor.
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).
This patented ultrasound imaging system reduces the hardware complexity for coherent array image formation and restoration. This technology is especially useful when there are fewer front-end electronic channels than the number of transducer elements in an array.
Researchers in the Khuri-Yakub laboratory have developed patented two dimensional (2D) capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) arrays and methods for fabricating them with direct wafer bonding.
Stanford researchers at the Swartz Research Group have engineered an Iron-Iron (Fe-Fe) hydrogenase with as high as 5-fold enhancement in O2 tolerance by introducing cysteine mutations around the electron supply pathway within the enzyme.
Stanford researchers successfully manufactured high quality optical components using commercially available 3D printing. The 3D printed optics were easy to fabricate and inexpensive.
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 patented a silicon germanium (SiGe) electroabsorption modulator that can operate well in excess of 10 Gbps and is entirely compatible with Silicon (Si) complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit fabrication.
