Apparatus and Methods for Ultrasound Screening of Prostate Cancer

Unmet NeedProstate cancer is the second most common type of cancer in American men, behind skin cancer. It is also the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American males, and there is a continuing need for innovation in diagnosis for those at risk for prostate cancer. After initial diagnostic blood tests for prostate-specific antigens, a prostate...

MRI Radio-frequency Heating Amelioration for Metallic Braided Catheters

Unmet NeedOver 1,000,000 cardiac catheterizations are performed annually in the United States. Catheters with a braided surface are most commonly used in vascular intervention because of their superior mechanical properties. While braided catheters made of metal provide the best mechanical manipulation, metallic catheters longer than a quarter of the...

RF Safe Transmission Line for MRI

Unmet NeedMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines produce images of the organs and tissues within the human body through a magnetic field and radio waves. MRI imaging is also well-suited for interventional radiology and interventional cardiology, where MRI images are used to track the position of interventional instruments. Many techniques have been...

Device and Methods for Transrectal Ultrasound-Guided Prostate Biopsy

Unmet NeedProstate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy. Additionally, it is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths among men in the United States with nearly 1 in every 6 men predicted to be diagnosed with the disease at some point in their lives. Currently, the most common biopsy method is a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided...

Diffractive Tethered OCT Capsule Endoscope for Ultrahigh-resolution Imaging

Unmet Need:Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive, high-resolution optical imaging technology capable of real-time imaging of tissue microanatomy. OCT essentially functions as a form of “optical biopsy”, capable of assessing tissue microanatomy and function with a resolution similar to standard histology but without the need for tissue...
