Computer-aided Patient Specific Treatment Planning Of Cryosurgery For Breast Cancer
Jung, Junkyu (Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)Cryosurgery, which is to destroy tumors by use of localized freezing, is an emerging treatment modality for breast cancer as the size of detectable tumor becomes smaller due to more frequent use of various diagnostic imaging ... -
Development Of A Quantum Dot Mediated Thermometry For Minimally Invasive Thermal Therapy
Hanson, Willard L. (Mechanical Engineering, 2009-09-16)Thermally-related, minimally invasive therapies are designed to treat tumors while minimizing damage to the surrounding tissues. Adjacent tissues become susceptible to thermal injury to ensure the cancer is completely ... -
Enhancement Of Cryoinjury By Use Of Eutectic Crystallization Of An Amino Acid Adjuvant
Wang, Chuo-Li (Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)Enhancement of cryoinjury by use of eutectic formation was investigated to improve the efficacy of cryosurgery. Although the enhancement of cryoinjury associated with eutectic crystallization of sodium chloride (NaCl) has ... -
Freezing-induced Microstructural Changes Of Collagen Scaffolds
Miller, Jeffrey David (Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)Understanding the effects of freezing on the functional properties of tissues is critical to cryopreservation of native and artificial tissues, and prognosis after cryotherapies. Although investigations have been performed ... -
Spatiotemporal Measurement Of Freezing-induced Deformation Of Engineered Tissues
Teo, Ka Yaw (Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)In order to cryopreserve functional engineered tissues (ETs), the microstructure of extracellular matrix (ECM) as well as the cellular viability should be maintained given that the functionality of ETs is closely related ... -
Thermo-mechanical Interaction Within Engineered Tissue During Freezing
Dehoyos, Tenok (Mechanical Engineering, 2009-09-16)Cryopreservation is the preserving of biological tissues at sub zero temperature. There are many useful applications to cryopreservation such as storing donated organs till they are needed rather than letting them go to ...
