A Novel Injectable Porous Hydrogel Composite Scaffold For Bone Tissue Engineering
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-03-17)
Over the past decade there has been an increasing use of bone grafts for orthopedic applications. With the aging US population, the need for suitable bone grafts substitutes has also increased. The aim of this study was ...
Development Of A Measurement System For Quantifying Ultrasound Field Distribution Of Different Transducers
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-03-10)
Ultrasound has been widely used in many fields, such as nondestructive examination and medical imaging. Ultrasound is mostly characterized by its pressure and, dynamic pressure wave can be considered to be the foundation ...
A Multimodality DLP® Imaging System For Clinical Surgery
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-09-17)
With 1.38 million new cases and 450,000 deaths worldwide due to breast cancer, there is a clear need for safe and complete surgical intervention for the treatment of breast cancer. Imaging solutions have been created and ...
Simulation Feasibility Studies Of A High Density fNIRS Imaging System
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-09-17)
Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a technique that enables monitoring brain function, by detecting changes in near-infrared light absorbance resulting from changes in brain hemodynamics during periods of ...
Computational Modeling Of Drug Release From Nerve Guide Conduit Of Different Designs
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-07-14)
Currently there are limited effective strategies and surgical methods for repairing gap peripheral nerve injuries. Autografts are commonly used but with major limitation in the availability of donor graft material and the ...
