    Development of Multimodal Optical System Guided by Optical Coherence Tomography 

    Kim, Sang Hoon (2018)
    The goal of this dissertation is to develop multimodal light scattering techniques using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to improve clinical diagnosis. OCT is a non-invasive optical imaging technique that utilizes low ...

    Multi-Dimensional Ultrasonic Shear Wave Reconstructions: Improving the Accuracy of Viscoelastic Parameter Estimation 

    Lipman, Samantha (2018)
    Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions are often preceded by liver cirrhosis or Hepatitis C, and patients with these diagnoses are monitored every six months with an ultrasound screening. B-mode ultrasound is an ideal imaging ...

    Efficient Spatial Coherence Estimation for Improved Endocardial Border Visualization in Real-Time 

    Hyun, Dongwoon (2017)
    Coronary heart disease contributed to approximately one in four deaths in the United States in 2014, and is caused by a restriction of blood flow to myocardial tissue. Stress echocardiography is a clinical technique used ...

    Quantifying the Impact of Imaging with Elevated Acoustic Output in Diagnostic Ultrasound 

    Deng, Yufeng (2017)
    Ultrasound imaging is one of the most widely used diagnostic imaging modalities. Abdominal ultrasound is typically used for screening liver diseases, and it is the recommended modality for six month screening in patients ...

    Bridging Scales: How Microstructural Features Impact Macroscopic Cardiac Propagation 

    Gokhale, Tanmay Anil (2018)
    Cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia are closely associated with microscopic fibrotic changes in cardiac structure that result in a heterogeneous myocardium. While the incidence of ...

    Functional and Molecular Imaging Using Nanoparticle Contrast Agents for Dual-Energy Computed Tomography 

    Ashton, Jeffrey Ronald (2017)
    X-ray computed tomography (CT) is one of the most useful diagnostic tools for clinicians, with widespread availability, fast scan times, and low cost. CT imaging can reveal a patient’s anatomy in exquisite detail and is ...

    Representation of Whole-body Navigation in the Primary Sensorimotor and Premotor Cortex 

    Yin, Allen (2018)
    Traditionally, brain-machine interfaces (BMI) recorded from neurons in cerebralcortical regions associated with voluntary motor control including primary motor(M1), primary somatosensory (S1), and dorsal premotor (PMd) cortices. ...

    Transthoracic Measurement of Dynamic Myocardial Stiffness using Acoustic Radiation Force-Based Ultrasound Methods 

    Kakkad, Vaibhav (2018)
    Heart failure is one of the most common cardiac disorders and is projected to increase in prevalence over the next few decades. It can arise from a wide variety of root causes such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, ...

    Investigating the Roles of Macrophages in Vessel Development Utilizing Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Hydrogels 

    Moore, Erika Michelle (2018)
    Macrophages, key cells of the immune system, are often present at active sites of angiogenesis. It has been found that macrophages can play a critical role in supporting blood vessel development as the removal of these cells ...

    The Role of Vinculin Mechanical State in Mediating Cell Sensing of Physical Cues 

    Rothenberg, Katheryn (2018)
    The extracellular environment affects tissue structure and is a source of physical cues to guide cell behavior. The sensing and interpretation of physical cues is important in many physiological processes, such as tissue ...
