Researchers at Stanford have developed a device capable of delivering ultrasonic neuromodulation to defined areas of the brain while simultaneously recording neuronal activity with cell-type specificity.
Stanford researchers have built a sound powered, wireless medical implant. The implant contains a piezoelectric energy receiver, an integrated circuit chip, and a loop antenna.
Stanford researchers have designed a non-invasive, low power ultrasonic neuromodulation device which can target tissue deep in the brain with high spatial-temporal resolution.
Researchers in Prof. Steven Chu's laboratory have developed a fundamentally new method of acoustic imaging to improve resolution of ultrasound diagnostics.
Engineers at the Khuri-Yakub Group have designed a non-surgical alternative for treating epilepsy using ultrasonic technology which can detect, localize, and suppress epileptic seizures in epileptic patients.
Ultrasound complements mammography as an imaging modality for breast cancer detection, especially in patients with dense breast tissue, but its utility is limited by low diagnostic accuracy.
Stanford researchers have proposed a novel, in vivo, real-time epifluorescence imaging method in the second near-infrared region using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs).
Stanford researchers have developed a novel and efficient method for generating real-time 3D volumetric computed tomography (CT) images with 2D single or few-view projections, instead of several hundreds of projections as required in existing CT imaging system.
Prof. Alison Marsden and her colleagues have developed a computational framework that uses personalized anatomical information to identify patients that have a high risk for saphenous vein graft (SVG) failure after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).
Engineers in Prof. Khuri-Yakub's laboratory have developed ultrasonic methods for non-invasive flow meters to accurately measure flow rate, pressure, velocity profile and other parameters of gas or liquid traveling through a pipe.

Mammography is the current first-line imaging technique for early breast cancer detection, however, its diagnostic accuracy is limited in women with dense breast tissue. Ultrasound is often performed as a second line test in women with dense breast tissue.
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 two related inventions which advance the state-of-the-art of CMUT's (capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers).
Stanford researchers at the Dahl Lab have developed a method to reduce artifacts in ultrasound image reconstruction using a trained convolutional neural network (CNN).
