Multi-channel coil receivers for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accelerate the scan for fast imaging. Acceleration is typically achieved by subsampling the data acquisition and leveraging the localized spatial profiles of each coil element to reconstruct the images.
Running chemotherapeutic drug screens on tumor biopsies ex vivo has the potential to increase patient survival by personally matching them to the drug which is the most effective against their particular tumor.
Researchers in Prof. Mark Schnitzer's laboratory have developed a two-photon scanning microscope for imaging neural activity in a 2x2mm field of view while maintaining a fast scanning rate (~10Hz image update frequency).
Researchers in the Khuri-Yakub laboratory have developed patented two dimensional (2D) capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) arrays and methods for fabricating them with direct wafer bonding.
Stanford researchers have developed a lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticle (UCNP) that emits very photostable and non-blinking light, and is bright enough to delineate tumor boundaries to the naked eye during surgery.
Stanford researchers have developed two related inventions which advance the state-of-the-art of CMUT's (capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers).
Engineers in Prof. Amin Arababian's laboratory have developed a microfluidics system for ultra high-throughput, low-cost, label-free cell detection in liquid biopsies, fetal cell analysis and other applications.
Stanford researchers have developed a wirelessly powered, fully internal implant which allows for optogenetic control of neurons throughout the nervous system in mammals, and in particular, mice.
Stanford researchers at the Dahl Lab have developed a method to reduce artifacts in ultrasound image reconstruction using a trained convolutional neural network (CNN).
Researchers in Prof. Amin Arbabian's laboratory have developed a modular RF-Ultrasound architecture to download data, upload data or wirelessly charge devices implanted deep in the body.
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.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have developed a highly precise, scalable optical system for imaging or controlling thousands of individual neurons in the 3D volume accessible with a single multiphoton fluorescent microscope objective.
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 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.
