Anatomically Precise, Ultrasound-compatible, Non-Biodegradable Body Phantom for Hydrogel Procedural Training

Unmet NeedMedical procedures are often difficult to master for novice clinicians and clinicians-in-training. In order to minimize risk to patients and still provide viable opportunities for practicing these procedures, training phantoms are often used. However, existing training phantoms are generically produced and therefore do not adequately represent...

MRI-Guided Active Injection Needle for Radiation-Oncology Brachytherapy

Unmet NeedEffective radiation treatment of tumors combines maximal radiation dose delivery to planned locations while mitigating radiation impacts on surrounding normal tissues. A delivery of radiation absorption materials (biocompatible gels) to create pockets of radiation dissipation has proven to be an effective method to mask unwanted effects. Most...

Forward-looking MRI Coils with Metal-backing

Unmet NeedMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses radio-frequency coils to transmit and receive signals from material such as human tissue. Currently, there exist forward-looking coils that can image the tissue that is in front of the coil. Forward-looking coils for imaging the cervix gland, which is 20-30 mm from the coil’s end, are easy to build with...
