Dual Scan Photoacoustic Mammoscope
Use light to listen for breast cancer. As strange as it sounds ultrasound images can be generated using light. In photoacoustic imaging tissue is heated by exposure to light from a fast-pulse laser. The thermal elastic expansion of the tissue creates an acoustic wave which can be detected and imaged by a ultrasonic transducer. The process eliminates...

NeuroSTREAM
This program measures brain atrophy using Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images of the lateral ventricular volume (LVV) region of the brain. High quality MRI scans are used to measure brain atrophy. However these scans are not always available or current but it is vital to know the patients status with regards to brain atrophy. This...

In Situ Nonlinear Photon Conversion by Biological Medium to Produce Photodynamic Therapy
Novel photodynamic therapy for treating inaccessible and thick tumors.
Background:
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) uses light to photoactivate drugs at the site of tumors causing a burst of free radicals which damage the tumor. The procedure has been used clinically for decades because of its ability to specifically target tumor regions. Unfortunately...
