Despite evidence that internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy) used in gynecologic cancer treatment is integral to successful therapy, use of these techniques has been declining and access to advanced imaging to guide adaptive therapy is limited. The decline in popularity is in part owing to the complexity of the procedure, requiring aids to make accessible imaging available and...
High-resolution histology remains essential for understanding brain microstructure, offering cellular-level insights that complement the more macroscopic perspective of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). To help bridge these scales, we are working toward 3D reconstructed histology volumes that will be co-registered with MRI in the common marmoset brain. However, several technical challenges...
Breast cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with mortality disproportionately affecting resource-limited regions due in part to limited access to effective screening tools. This presentation will cover our decades-long design, development, and evaluation of microwave sensing/imaging (MWI) systems, with the goal of developing an affordable portable medical device...
