Strategies for Temporal and Spectral Imaging with X-ray Computed Tomography 

Johnston, Samuel Morris (2012)
X-ray micro-CT is widely used for small animal imaging in preclinical studies of cardiopulmonary disease, but further development is needed to improve spatial resolution, temporal resolution, and material contrast. This ...

Techniques for Quantitation of Left Ventricular Volume in Ultrasound Using 4DViz 

Guo, Yuan (2012)
In the United States, heart failure is a leading cause of hospitalization. The medical industry places great emphasis on diagnosing heart disease through cardiac metrics like ejection fraction. Left ventricular ejection ...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Biomarkers of Renal Structure and Function 

Xie, Luke (2014)
The kidney's major role in filtration depends on its high blood flow, concentrating mechanisms, and biochemical activation. The kidney's greatest strengths also lead to vulnerability for drug-induced nephrotoxicity and other ...

Identifying Vulnerable Plaques with Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging 

Doherty, Joshua Ryan (2014)
The rupture of arterial plaques is the most common cause of ischemic complications including stroke, the fourth leading cause of death and number one cause of long term disability in the United States. Unfortunately, because ...

High-Resolution Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Human Brain Connectivity 

Guidon, Arnaud (2013)
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has emerged as a unique method to characterize brain tissue microstructure non-invasively. DTI typically provides the ability to study white matter structure with a standard voxel resolution ...

Chronic Myocardial Infarct Visualization Using 3D Ultrasound 

Byram, Brett (2011)
This dissertation aims to demonstrate the feasibility of direct infarct visualization using 3D medical ultrasound. The dissertation proceeds by providing the first ever demonstration of fully-sampled 3D ultrasonic speckle ...

Exploring Optical Contrast in Ex-Vivo Breast Tissue Using Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy and Tissue Morphology 

Kennedy, Stephanie Ann (2012)
In 2011, an estimated 230,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer were diagnosed among women, as well as an estimated 57,650 additional cases of in situ breast cancer [1]. Breast conserving surgery (BCS) is a recommended ...

Transthoracic Cardiac Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging 

Bradway, David Pierson (2013)
This dissertation investigates the feasibility of a real-time transthoracic Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) imaging system to measure myocardial function non-invasively in clinical setting. Heart failure is an important ...

Delivery of Myoglobin Polymersomes Results in Tumor Hemorrhagic Necrosis and Enhanced Radiation Response 

Hofmann, Christina Lehmkuhl (2015)
There is a critical need to target tumor hypoxia as patients with hypoxic tumors have worse prognosis due to aggressive phenotypes and resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The overall goal of this work is to improve ...

Diffusion Tensor Imaging Biomarkers of Brain Development and Disease 

Calabrese, Evan Darcy Cozzens (2014)
Understanding the structure of the brain has been a major goal of neuroscience research over the past century, driven in part by the understanding that brain structure closely follows function. Normative brain maps, or atlases, ...
