Title: ANALYSIS OF OPTICAL FIBER SPECKLE PATTERNS FOR DETECTION OF IVUS CATHETER TIP IN 3D SPACE: AN INTELLIGENT SENSOR RESEARCH
Author: Razmyar, Soroush
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Optics, Computer science, Biomedical engineering
Description: This research study presents the architectural design and computational framework for an intelligent tracking sensor constructed from a multimode fiber optic. As laser light travels through an inhomogeneous medium, such as multimode fiber, the ran...

Title: Enhanced Thermal Imaging a Novel Imaging Technique for Monitoring Re-Perfusion Post-Operatively
Author: McGinnis, Cobey
Date Created: 2023
Subjects--Topical: Optics, Biomedical engineering, Physics
Description: We are developing a real-time infrared imaging technique, Enhanced Thermal Imaging(ETI), that can detect blood vessels embedded in tissue and assess tissue perfusion. ETI is a combination of standard thermal imaging (8 - 10 μm) and selective heati...

Title: INTEGRATED AND MINIATURIZED ENDOSCOPIC DEVICES FOR USE DURING HIGH POWER INFRARED FIBER LASER SURGERY
Author: Wilson, Christopher
Date Created: 2016
Subjects--Topical: Optics, Physics, Biomedical engineering
Description: The Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL) is currently being studied as a potential alternative to the conventional, solid-state Holmium:YAG laser (Ho:YAG) for the treatment of kidney stones. The TFL is an ideal candidate to replace the Ho:YAG for laser litho...

Title: Noninvasive Laser Vasectomy
Author: Cilip, Christopher
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Optics, Engineering, Biomedical engineering
Description: Development of a noninvasive vasectomy technique may eliminate male fear of complications (incision, bleeding, infection, and scrotal pain) and result in a more popular procedure. These studies build off previous studies that report the ability to...

Title: Optical super-resolution and periodical focusing effects by dielectric microspheres
Author: Darafsheh, Arash
Date Created: 2013
Subjects--Topical: Optics, Physics, Biomedical engineering
Description: Optical microscopy is one of the oldest and most important imaging techniques; however, its far-field resolution is diffraction-limited. In this dissertation, we proposed and developed a novel method of optical microscopy with super-resolution by ...

Title: SIGNAL PROCESSING BASED METHOD FOR SOLVING INVERSE SCATTERING PROBLEMS
Author: Shahid, Umer
Date Created: 2010
Subjects--Topical: Optics, Biomedical engineering, Remote sensing
Description: The problem of reconstructing an image of the permittivity distribution inside a penetrable and strongly scattering object from a finite number of noisy scattered field measurements has always been very challenging because it is ill-posed in natur...

Title: SUBSURFACE THERMAL COAGULATION OF TISSUES USING NEAR INFRARED LASERS
Author: Chang, Chun-Hung
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Optics, Biophysics, Biomedical engineering
Description: Noninvasive laser therapy is currently limited primarily to cosmetic dermatological applications such as skin resurfacing, hair removal, tattoo removal and treatment of vascular birthmarks. In order to expand applications of noninvasive laser ther...

Title: Thulium Fiber Laser Lithotripsy
Author: Blackmon, Richard
Date Created: 2013
Subjects--Topical: Optics, Biomedical engineering
Description: The Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL) has been studied as a potential alternative to the conventional Holmium:YAG laser (Ho:YAG) for the treatment of kidney stones. The TFL is more ideally suited for laser lithotripsy because of the higher absorption coef...
