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.
Stanford inventors have created an audio-visual system with a radiotransparent screen provides a means for communication and visual distractions during procedures such as radiation therapy and radiation imaging.
Active manipulation of light beams is required for a range of emerging optical technologies, including sensing, optical computing, virtual/augmented reality, dynamic holography, and computational imaging.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have patented a revolutionary technique that can be utilized to map neural circuits in the whole brain.
Researchers at Stanford University have established a deep learning segmentation algorithm for non-contrast CT images to aid clinicians in decision making and improve the speed of symptom to treatment in acute ischemic stroke
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.
Stanford researchers developed a programmable tuning circuit for dynamic, all-electronic tuning of the resonance frequency, sensitivity, and bandwidth of ultrasound transducers.
Using advances in flexible electronics, researchers at Stanford have developed a stretchable strain sensor for monitoring solid tumor size progression on or near the skin in real time.
Ultrasound technology is a safe, high-resolution, and cost-efficient tool for imaging. Other modalities, such as MRI or CT, may require the use of anesthesia. This makes it difficult to image pediatric patients and patients sensitive to anesthesia.
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 inventors have developed and fabricated biodegradable and biocompatible polysaccharide hydrogel optical fibers for fiber optic sensing and light transmission in biomedical applications like antigen detection, tracking cellular events, and optogenetics.
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.
