Stanford researchers at the Pratx Lab have developed a new trajectory reconstruction method for tracking moving sources labeled with positron-emitting radionuclides using PET.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel traveling wave accelerating structure which is a critical component of a particle accelerator. It has high shunt impedance similar to that of side-coupled standing-wave accelerating structure, but without its drawbacks.
Stanford researchers have demonstrated a new passive cavitation mapping algorithm based on sound localization of multiple scatters of cavitation. It shows improved resolution as compared to existing passive cavitation mapping algorithms based on a basic beamforming.
Several linear accelerator vendors have systems with single x-ray imager. A single x-ray imager presents a challenge to estimate 3D positioning. A method to estimate the 3D position using a single x-ray imager with prior information has been developed by Stanford researchers.
In the presence of intra-fraction organ motion, target localization uncertainty can hamper the advantage of using highly conformal dose techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
Stanford researchers have developed a portable particle accelerator – the SLAC Piezoelectric Accelerator Neutron Source (SPAN). When combined with an ion source and a deuterated target, this piezoelectric, high-voltage generator makes a compact neutron generator system.
Engineers in Prof. Butrus Khuri-Yakub's laboratory have developed a patented, simple, cost efficient, CMUT (capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers) fabrication process with incomparable precision and performance.
Researchers in the Ginzton lab at Stanford University have patented an all-dielectric laser-driven microstructure for producing controllable charged particle beam.
