Registration Of Beta-cit Dopamine Transporter Spect Images
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
This work outlines a method for quantification of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons by means of SPECT using the cocaine derivative [123I] β-CIT (123I-labelled 2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl) tropane (β-CIT))as a radiotracer ...
Analysis Of The Dynamics Of Vasomotion Using Laser Doppler Flow
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Vasomotion is a phenomenon caused by changes in the diameters of blood vessels. It is due to the contractile activity of small arteries and arterioles resulting in periodic changes of blood flow in the skin. These flow ...
Large Array EMG Monitoring Of Lumbar Region Muscle Action In Discogenic Low Back Pain
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
This project explored the use of large array surface electromyography (LASE) as a technique for assessing the patterns of muscular activity under standardized loading conditions in patients with lumbar disc related pain ...
Investigation Of Information Processing And Cognitive Performance Capacities With Different Instrumentation Configurations
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The focus of this thesis is the investigation of two new performance capacity tests related to a concept known as "situational awareness": 1) Visual Motor Multitask Performance Capacity (VMMPC) and 2) Visual Auditory ...
Development Of An In-vitro Assay For Neurotrophin-induced Segregation Of Nociceptive And Proprioceptive Sensory Axons
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Peripheral nerves have the capacity for regeneration and if properly repaired, axon extensions can regenerate even across gaps caused by peripheral nerve loss. Complete functional recovery after gap injury repair remains ...
Characterization Of A Noninvasive, In Vivo, Microscopic Hyperspectral Imaging System For Microvascular Visualization.
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Instrumentation with clinical implications for imaging the human oculus was developed, based upon the hyperspectral imaging modality. The novel, non invasive, microscopic multi-modal hyperspectral imaging system, which ...
Functionalized Nanoparticles For The Selective Killing Of Cancer Cells
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-09-17)
The use of nanoparticles for cancer imaging and drug delivery has produced some success in improving the efficacy and safety of cancer chemotherapy. It is generally believed that the efficiency of nanoparticle-based cancer ...
Drug Loaded Polymeric Blends For Developing Vascular Stents
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
In-stent restenosis and neo-intimal hyperplasia are long-term limitations of metallic stents. Local delivery of medications to transluminal angioplasty sites to prevent restenosis is receiving worldwide attention. Development ...
Optical Coherence Tomography Of Oral Mucosa
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Oral cancer causes 120000* deaths annually around the world and 280000* new cases are diagnosed every year.
Technology has developed and the death rate of oral cancer has improved over the last few decades; hence to improve ...
Development Of A Multi-channel Handheld Probe Designed For Near Infrared Spectroscopy And An Exploration Into Its Clinical Applications
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and imaging has become popular in research fields for the past 2 decades. My research focuses on the development of a handheld, multi-channel, multi-separation probe for the low-cost, ...
