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.
This highly instrumented laryngoscope measures intubation mechanics such as force and torque to quantitatively track how a laryngoscope is being inserted.
Inventors at Stanford University have developed a colorimetric device to visualize microstructural features in tissue biopsies towards clinical diagnostics.
Stanford researchers have designed and prototyped an inexpensive, compact and easy-to-use smartphone lens mount for the capture of high quality photographs and videos of the eye's front and back structures.
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.
Stanford researchers at the Ferrara Lab have developed a volumetric ultrasound imaging that uses a motion controller to realize 3D imaging. This invention introduces a new transducer architecture with significantly improved image resolution.
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.
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.
Near-infrared (NIR) imaging is a valuable research tool that produces quality images with high spatial and temporal resolution through millimeter tissue depths.
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.
