Stanford researchers at the Ferrara Lab have designed an ultra-fast standing device for breast ultrasound which is more comfortable than current designs and has higher resolution.
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.
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.
The CheXbert labeler accurately detects the presence or absence of 14 common medical conditions in radiology reports, converting unstructured radiology text into a structured format.
Stanford researchers have developed CheXpert which can reduce noise and identify several pathologies on x-rays with very high accuracy via machine learning. CheXpert can read photos of x-rays from a mobile phone and is robust to noise.
Stanford researchers have developed an exceptionally fast, sensitive, and compact X-ray imaging system for distinguishing liquids and other materials in aviation security applications.
Researchers at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have developed a cost-effective method for using low temperature microwave annealing to create diode termination contacts on silicon sensors.
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).
This invention, the “Charge Cloud Tracker” is a fast, low-cost, strip geometry x-ray detector that is predicted to provide limiting resolution on the order of 5 microns, with very high x-ray detection efficiency.
Stanford researchers have designed a method to increase the photoyield of thin film CsBr/metal photocathodes by activation with electron bombardment, allowing efficient operation at UV and longer incident light wavelengths.
Researchers in Prof. Lei Xing's laboratory have developed a radioluminescent platform to combine molecular and X-ray imaging using standard X-ray equipment coupled with a photodetector.
A researcher at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has developed a pulsed X-ray system for fast, high-throughput, unambiguous identification of materials in moving containers.
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.
