Biomedical Engineering Faculty Patents
The present invention provides for bilayered composites that provide for sustained drug delivery and support to recovering tissue(s) and areas surrounding, such as with bone tissue. The two layers degrade at separate rates, thereby providing sustained mechanical support and tailored drug delivery.
Noncontact Three-Dimensional Diffuse Optical Imaging Of Deep Tissue Blood Flow Distribution, Guoqiang Yu, Yu Lin, Chong Huang
Noncontact Three-Dimensional Diffuse Optical Imaging Of Deep Tissue Blood Flow Distribution, Guoqiang Yu, Yu Lin, Chong Huang
Biomedical Engineering Faculty Patents
The present invention provides for three-dimensional reflectance diffuse optical imaging of deep tissue blood flow distribution that removes the need for probe-tissue contact, thereby allowing for such technology to be applied to sensitive, vulnerable, damaged, or reconstructive tissue. The systems utilize noncontact application and detection of near-infrared light through optical lens and detection through a linear array or two-dimensional array of avalanche photodiodes or a two-dimensional array of detectors provided by charge-coupled-device (CCD). Both further feature a finite-element-method (FEM) based facilitation to provide for three-dimensional flow image reconstruction in deep tissues with arbitrary geometries.
