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 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 patented 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.
Stanford researchers have developed software that offers a solution to presenting tasks in a clinical magnetic resonance imaging facility to evoke specific responses within the human brain.
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 patented a method and apparatus for detecting ionizing radiation, that, if successful, would achieve a coincidence time resolution 100x better than current positron emission tomography (PET) detectors.
Stanford researchers developed an ultrasound method to estimate the local speed of sound of tissue, regardless of the tissue overlying the target location.
Stanford researchers have designed a system to provide accelerated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the presence of metallic implants, which induce variations in the static magnetic field that normally require long scan times.
Stanford researchers have patented a new method for Compressed Sensing (CS) which reconstructs signals and images from significantly fewer measurements than current standards while maintaining high reconstruction accuracy.
Stanford researchers at the Rao Lab have developed apoptosis imaging probes with an improved new molecular structure enabling high sensitivity and stability with better performance in vivo.
An interdisciplinary team of Stanford researchers is developing a dual axis confocal (“DAC”) microscope system for in vivo imaging of tissues at the cellular scale.
