Initial Proof-of-Concept of Photoacoustic Neural Stimulation; A Potential Approach to Retinal Stimulation: Preliminary In Vitro Study

Unmet NeedNon-cataract related vision loss affects 22.9 million people worldwide. Many of these patients retain partial functionality in their retinas; even though their outer retinas no longer function, visual stimulation can be achieved by sending messages from the inner retinas through the optic nerves. Present efforts to restore vision to these...

Glancing Angle Interferometer Tomosynthesis System (GAI-TS) for High Energy, Fast and Low Dose X-ray Phase-contrast Imaging

Unmet NeedCurrent clinical imaging methods include conventional X-ray computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Conventional X-ray CT, also known as attenuation-based X-ray CT, has excellent spatial resolution but poor soft tissue contrast, so it is not suited for imaging internal organs. Meanwhile, MRI has good soft tissue contrast...

Head-mounted Indirect Ophthalmoscope Camera Using a Smart Device

Unmet NeedFundus imaging is the sub-field referring to the imaging of the eye and other hollow organs. Most current fundus imaging devices are impractical for some patients such as young children and patients who are bedridden. It is also important to note that taking images and/or videos is useful in fundus imaging rather than simply having the medical...
