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).
Stanford researchers have invented a C-Aperture Nano-Tip which provides a new way to further enhance the optical resolution down to smaller than 15 nm.
Stanford researchers have developed a fast, multi-dimensional MRI procedure which records and correlates at least five dimensions of anatomic, physiologic, and functional information applicable for cardiac imaging.
Stanford researchers have developed an algorithm to achieve uniform excitation and image uniformity in the presence of a non-uniform transmit field while limiting local power deposition or "hot spots" using multiple transmit channels and the methid of "parallel transmit" or p
Stanford researchers in the McNab lab have developed a marker-less neuro-navigation device that only needs to be setup once during the first transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) session and by tracking the subjects head, automatically achieves the same accurate coil locatio
Nonstationary image artifacts frequently arise in MRI from off-resonance and motion. Current methods to correct these nonstationary effects are computationally expensive. Stanford researchers have developed a new deep learning framework to improve image quality in minutes.
Stanford researchers have developed an improved imaging protocol for better visualization of the thalamus. This faster acquisition leads to a better delineation of structures due to the multiple dimensions of information.
Stanford researchers have designed and successfully tested two prototype dynamic surface grasping devices. These devices use opposed pairs of gecko-inspired directional adhesives to attach to any smooth surface.
Stanford researchers have developed a statistical method to map tissue activity distribution and photon attenuation, correcting for attenuation in real time without a transmission scan, using Positron Emission Tomography.
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.
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).
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.
