3D PHOTOACOUSTIC TOMOGRAPHY IN AN ENDOSCOPIC FORM FACTOR
(2020-10-29)We present the results of a study to introduce photoacoustic tomography capability into a 2D endoscopic 64-element phased and 3D endoscopic 128-element crossed electrode ultrasound array for the use in endoscopic brain ... -
3D Printed Surface Applicators for High Dose Rate Brachytherapy
(2016-08-31)HDR surface mould brachytherapy is a technique used to treat various types of skin lesions including basal and squamous cell carcinoma. This work investigates the feasibility of using 3D printed surface applicators for the ... -
3D Range Searching Using Chain Decomposition
(2017-09-01)We propose the first data structure based on untangled monotonic chains for or- thogonal range searching in 3-dimensional space. The idea is an extension of the 2-dimensional chain partition algorithm proposed by Arroyuelo ... -
3D simultaneous quantification of SPIO and Gadolinium Contrast Agents In Vivo using MR Fingerprinting
(2024-04-30)Molecular imaging is a powerful asset to a range of disciplines, allowing for precise, noninvasive, longitudinal imaging of a myriad of biological processes. Magnetic resonance molecular imaging offers the ability to perform ... -
5G and China-US Relations: Competition and Intervention
(2021-08-31)This study discusses the reasons that drive the US government to deviate from its private sector-dominated approach and implement state intervention in the competition with China over 5G. In order to better understand the ... -
