We introduce a simple and cheap method for phase-shifting Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) that does not need additional devices and can easily be implemented. A small beam offset at the fast beam-scanning mirror introduces a causal phas ...
We propose a method for brain atlas deformation in presence of large space-occupying tumors or lesions, based on an a priori model of lesion growth that assumes radial expansion of the lesion from its starting point. Our approach involves three steps. Firs ...
A new hearing therapy called Direct Acoustical Cochlear Stimulation (DACS) was developed and validated in a first clinical trial with four patients. The key component of this therapy based on an implantable hearing device is a micro-actuator that is implan ...
Many experimental models have been developed to investigate the effects of mechanical stimulation of cells, but none of the existing devices can simulate micromotions at the cellular-mechanical interface with varying amplitudes and loads. Osteoblasts are s ...
We present a method and apparatus for local and superficial measurement of the optical properties of turbid media. The depth probed is on the order of 1 transport mean free path of the photon. The absorption coefficient, reduced scattering coefficient and ...
Drug-eluting stents are cardiovascular stents able to release a medical drug after implantation. The medical drug is, in general, aimed at healing the vascular tissues injured after implantation and to prevent restenosis. In spite of their apparent simplic ...
A BCI allows a person to communicate with the external world using artificial electronic or mechanical devices controlled by means of brain signals. Present-day BCIs can be divided into invasive and noninvasive. Prospective application of invasive BCIs to ...
We propose a method for brain atlas deformation in presence of large space-occupying tumors, based on an a priori model of lesion growth that assumes radial expansion of the lesion from its starting point. First, an affine registration brings the atlas and ...
NOVELTY - The test probe (100) is inserted through periosteum and/or soft tissue on a bone, such that the test probe contacts the bone. The test probe is inserted multiple times into same location of the bone, to create one or more microscopic fractures in ...
