— Technology Description
A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed the patented “Gemini” breakaway connector to turn peripheral venous catheter (PVC) fluid flow on and off without leaking. In addition, this easy-to-use device is designed to prevent PVC di…

— Lihong Wang, Professor at Washington University in St. Louis, is a pioneer in the field of Photoacoustic (PA) Imaging. His innovations have enabled non-invasive imaging of living organisms at scales ranging from subcellular to whole-body at depths and resolutions that are simply impossible with any …

— This technology features a photon recycler to increase light transmittance through the human skull, a subtraction imaging method to image targets through human skull, and a filtering method to improve the contrast. Optical imaging is desirable because high functional hemoglobin contrast can be dire…

— Conventional optics are generally restrained by a law of physics known as the diffraction limit, which dictates that optical systems can only resolve images down to about half the wavelength of the light used to produce the image (λ/2), or down to about 200 nanometers for most standard optics…

— The invention is a novel photoacoustic imaging technique, termed reversibly switchable photoacoustic tomography (RS-PAT). It exhibits a large penetration depth, a high detection sensitivity, and a spatial super-resolution. The most important feature of this technique is that it significantly incre…

— In clinical practice, high imaging speed is critical to reduce motion artifacts, cost, and patient discomfort. Researchers at Washington University have developed multi-focal optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (MFOR-PAM) capable of high-resolution imaging of hemoglobin concentration and oxy…
