A team of researchers at Stanford and the University of Connecticut have developed a method to deliver contrast agents through a patient-friendly sublingual or buccal film that provides prolonged continuous release for ongoing optical imaging.
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 Dr. Jianghong Rao's lab have developed nanoprobes for monitoring drug-induced hepatotoxicity in vivo in real time. Drug toxicity is a long-standing concern of modern medicine.
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.
Researchers at Stanford have developed new fluorescent sensors to detect and monitor gastrointestinal (GI) permeability. GI permeability can be correlated with the prognosis of GI disease, thus earlier detection may lead to better patient outcomes.
Stanford researchers at the Pratx Lab have developed a new trajectory reconstruction method for tracking moving sources labeled with positron-emitting radionuclides using PET.
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 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.
Stanford researchers have demonstrated the use of a coherent frequency-domain technique in microwave thermoacoustic imaging, which significantly improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and reduces peak-power requirements without sacrificing resolution or other performance metrics
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.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel method for the quantification of person-level network functioning, enabling the diagnosis of depression and suggesting an appropriate treatment.
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).
