3D cavitation mapping to improve laser lithotripsy for the treatment of kidney stones

3D cavitation mapping to improve laser lithotripsy for the treatment of kidney stones

Unmet Need The prevalence of kidney stones is on the rise, having increased from approximately 4% in the 1970s to nearly 10% today. Approximately 1 in 10 of Americans will experience a kidney stone in…

Non-invasive peripheral retinal scanner using OCT

Non-invasive peripheral retinal scanner using OCT

Unmet Need Images and light that sporadically appear in an individual’s visual field are known as “Flashes and floaters.” These optical aberrations bring approximately 150,000 patients in for eye exams each year in the United…

Multiscale coherence imaging for assessing epithelial tissue health in precancerous detection

Multiscale coherence imaging for assessing epithelial tissue health in precancerous detection

Unmet Need Epithelial cells act as the body’s first line of defense against foreign elements and are constantly being replaced by newly grown cells. Due in part to these factors, 90% of all cancers originate…

A computational algorithm-based method for extracting intrinsic fluorescence properties of tissue

A computational algorithm-based method for extracting intrinsic fluorescence properties of tissue

Value Proposition Fluorescence spectroscopy has been used successfully to discriminate premalignancy and malignancy in a number of organ sites. However, due to the complex interplay of absorption, scattering, and fluorescence in tissue, it is difficult…

Fiber optic probes with self-calibration capability for tissue optical spectroscopy

Fiber optic probes with self-calibration capability for tissue optical spectroscopy

Value Proposition UV-visible (UV-VIS) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) is sensitive to the absorption and scattering properties of biological molecules in tissue and thus can be used as a noninvasive in vivo tool to obtain quantitative…
