Maslov, Konstantin ; Rao, Bin ; Wang, Lihong
T-012585
— A photoacoustic tomography device that provides high optical absorption contrast with high lateral resolution, including very good melanin distribution images, for port wine stain birthmarks.
Photon tunnelingAn, Woo Jin ; Wang, Lihong
T-012515
— Photon tunneling has the potential to guide light to the core of a human body in vivo. Imaging, sensing, and therapy are among the applications for this technology. Light, as opposed to potentially harmful x-rays, is an ideal non-ionizing radiation for imaging and treating biological tissue, however…
Tetrahedron Beam Computed Tomography with Multi-pixel X-ray SourceZhang, Tiezhi
T-015342
— About 70 million computed tomography (CT) scans are performed in the United State alone each year. Traditional helical scanners use a single point x-ray source that rotates around the patient, acquiring images in sequential slices, which results in high quality images. But these helical scanners a…
Miniature, high resolution multi-spectral imaging for label-free image guided surgery and other applicationsGarcia Hernandez, Nimrod Missael ; Gruev, Viktor
T-016872
— Technology Description Engineers in Prof. Viktor Gruev’s laboratory have developed a compact 27-band hyperspectral imaging system for high resolution, label-free, real-time imaging. This system can distinguish spectral signatures in image guided surgery (IGS) and other applications. The tech…

Mobile PET imaging systemLi, Ke ; Mathews, Aswin ; Tai, Yuan-Chuan ; Wen, Jie
T-014964
— Background PET scanners are valued for their ability to provide whole-body functional and anatomic information, important in the diagnoses and management of metabolic conditions. However, there is currently a need in the market for a smaller imaging system that can be used for point-of-care applica…
