Phase correction has the potential to increase the image quality of real-time 3D (RT3D) ultrasound, especially for transcranial ultrasound. Such improvement would increase the diagnostic utility of transcranial ultrasound, ...

Cancer is a disease that affects millions of people each year. While methods for the prevention and treatment of the disease continue to advance, the early detection of precancerous development remains a key factor in reducing ...

From gene expression to protein abundance, biological measurements have traditionally been taken as population averages. Studies over the past decade, however, have established the biological relevance of population ...

Interacting with the world is a two-step process of accurate sensing followed by coordinated movement. Optimization of biologically-inspired robotic systems benefits from the quantification and modeling of natural sensorimotor ...

Cortical representations of rhythmic and discrete movements are analyzed and used to create a novel neural decoding algorithm for brain-machine interfaces. This algorithm is then implemented to decode both cyclic movements ...

Tumor angiogenesis is critical to tumor growth and metastasis, yet much is unknown about the role vascular cells play in the tumor microenvironment. A major outstanding challenge associated with studying tumor angiogenesis ...

A clinically viable brain-machine interface (BMI) requires a fully-implanted wireless neural acquisition system to limit the impediments of percutaneous connections. For an implanted system with an appreciable telemetry ...

Knee pain is a common complaint among older Americans, nearly half of whom have developed or will develop painful osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is primarily a disease of articular cartilage, the low-friction, shock-absorbing ...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease affecting articular cartilage, leading to loss of its structure and function. Early stage OA is characterized by changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM), including a reduction ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive three-dimensional interferometric imaging technique capable of achieving micrometer scale resolution. It is now a standard of care in ophthalmology, where it is used to ...
