In recent years the National Institutes of Health has placed great emphasis on addressing the emergent need to accelerate translation of laboratory discoveries into clinical practice. The proposed study is very much aligned ...
An Evaluation Of The Biomechanical Properties Of The Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-29)
The Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) is a well defined tissue layer of the face commonly utilized in facial surgery, including facelifts. There are several reasons for the utilization of this tissue, including ...
Localization Of Biliary Tree Structures By Use Of Photon Diffusion Models
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-08-08)
A novel computational methodology is proposed for the intraoperative localization of biliary tree structures by means of spectrally resolved near-infrared reflectance measurements. As these structures are embedded in fatty ...
Magnetically Anchored "reduced Trocar" Laparoscopy: Evolution Of Surgical Robotics
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Laparoscopic surgery has become increasingly popular over the last few years due to its benefits; lower morbidity, less perceived pain, better cosmesis results, and less hospital time. For the surgeon however, there are ...
Spectroscopic Characterization Of Biliary Tract Tissues In-vivo To Assist Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a surgical method for removal of gallbladder when it is diseased with gall stones. Almost 750,000 people are affected with this disease annually in USA. Gall bladder is removed by placing ...
Diffuse Optical Imaging Of Brain Function Under Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation And In Children With Cerebral Palsy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Diffuse Optical Imaging (DOI) is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique which measures the changes in oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin concentrations at a high temporal resolution based on the principle of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy.DOI ...
