Acoustic Frequency-Based Spectral Unmixing to Determine Tissue Constituents

Unmet Need:The demarcation between target tissue to be removed, and healthy tissue to leave intact, is critical to the success of any surgical procedure. These operations are often performed using high-resolution imaging, including MRI or CT scans. Such methods provide a priori information to clinicians; however, these methods yield limited information...

A Dual Mode Photoacoustic Visual Servoing System to Track Needle and Catheter Tips during Surgical Procedures Using Beamformed Images or Raw Channel Data

Unmet Need:Needle guided procedures like catheterizations and biopsies are important medical tools to diagnose and treat disease. In the US alone, over 2.7 million catheterization procedures and over 3 million breast cancer biopsies are performed every year (see iData and CST). Real time imaging of biopsy needles is a technique used by physicians to...

Internal Light Delivery for Photoacoustic-guided Drilling

Unmet Need: Photoacoustic imaging is an increasingly popular biomedical imaging technique that uses ultrasonic emission, resulting from laser pulses delivered to tissue, to construct an image. A potentially useful tool in a wide range of surgeries as it can locate tumors, lesions, nerves, and blood vessels, current external light delivery systems severely...

Distinguishing Solid from Fluid-Filled Masses Using Coherence-Based Ultrasound Imaging

Unmet Need / Invention Novelty: The identification of cancerous breast masses using traditional ultrasound imaging techniques is limited because ultrasounds typically cannot distinguish solid masses from fluid-filled regions in patients with dense breast tissue. Dense tissue results in increased acoustic clutter, which obscures lesions and contributes...

A Machine Learning Approach to Beamforming

Unmet NeedGiven their ability to aid in real-time navigation of our complex anatomy, ultrasound and photoacoustic images are popular options for image guidance during surgery. However, noise in these images complicate surgical procedures, particularly noise caused by reflection and reverberation artifacts from highly echogenic structures, which often...
