Medical Image Registration and Applications
Published Wednesday, May 28, 2014Hardware-accelerated image registration has been developed by Dr. Raj Shekhar's group at UMB, a novel computing solution for automatic and accurate registration (spatial alignment) of three-dimensional medical images of any modality and any anatomy. Using these innovations, the computing period for image registration is considerably shorter (...

Manometry Monitoring Device for Use in Virtual Colonoscopy (VC) Examinations
Published Wednesday, May 28, 2014Virtual colonoscopy (VC) is an effective medical procedure for use in identifying polyps and cancers in the bowel. Typically, this procedure involves cleansing the patient's bowel, distending the patient's colon by insufflation, scanning the patient, and analyzing the acquired images. However, the proper amount of distention following...

MINIR: Minimally Invasive Neurosurgical Intracranial Robot
Published Wednesday, May 28, 2014Brain tumors are the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children and the most feared complication of metastatic spread. The unfavorable location of many tumors, usually deep or otherwise inaccessible to conventional neurosurgical techniques, places patients at an undue risk for neurological complications from complex brain surgery...

Inhibition Of Metastatic Tumors
Published Wednesday, May 28, 2014Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the United States. Death of cancer patients is most often caused by metastatic spread of tumor cells from the primary tumor site through the bloodstream where the cells lie dormant for long periods. These dormant cells will invade secondary sites such as the lung, liver or kidney where they develop...

Coherence-gated Doppler: A fiber sensor for precise localization of blood flow
Published Tuesday, May 27, 2014Coherence Gated Doppler (CGD) is an optical fiber sensor technology that combines the strengths of two optical technologies, the laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) and the optical coherence tomography (OCT). The current LDF technology remains highly sensitive but suboptimal for localization of flow signals while the OCT and its Doppler variant, DOCT...
