Development of Photoacoustic Imaging Technologies for Biomedical Applications
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging modality based on the acoustic detection of optical absorption. Since acoustic scattering in tissue is much less than that of light, the conversion of light absorption into sound ...
Innovations in Test Phantom Metrology for Ultrasonic Imaging in relation to Medical Imaging, Biometric Characterization, and 3-Dimensional Microfluidic Applications
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
This dissertation discusses the design, fabrication, and testing of a series of test phantoms for the testing and validation of a series of applications. These test phantoms focused on the replications of key physiological ...
System Identification of Electrode-Skin Interface for Flexible PDMS Electrodes and Microelectrode Arrays
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
The objective of this research is to perform transfer function modeling of the electrode - skin interface using System Identification Toolbox (MathWorks, Inc. USA). This computational modeling is essential for developing ...
Development of Smart Patient-Specific 3D Printed Vascular Phantoms for Assessment of Flow Dynamics and Treatment Simulations Using Embedded Sensors
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) being the leading cause of death, investigating various methods for understanding the effects of these diseases is of utmost importance. Hemodynamic parameters such as blood pressure and flow ...
Hemodynamics due to calf muscle activity– biophysical modeling and experiments using frequency domain near infrared spectroscopy in healthy humans
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a condition that occurs due to dysfunction of the venous wall and/or valves in the leg veins, making it difficult for blood to return to the heart from the legs leading to venous stasis. ...
The effects of cathodic polarization and simulated infection on the electrochemical properties of CoCrMo and coupled Ti6Al4V+CoCrMo alloy
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Metallic biomaterials are the most commonly used materials for medical devices because of their unique combination of; strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. However, they also pose some concern due to how ...
Kernel and Manifold Framework for Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most advanced imaging technologies that encompasses both structural and functional imaging paradigm. It allows us to visualize not only qualitative structures but also ...
MECHANICAL ASSESSMENT OF 3D PRINTED PATIENT SPECIFIC PHANTOMS FOR SIMULATION OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE IMAGE GUIDED PROCEDURES
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Patient-specific 3D printed phantoms can reproduce accurate patient geometry and provide precise tools for Endovascular Image Guided Interventions (EIGI) simulations. These phantoms have been used previously for device ...
CHEMICAL-FREE METAL–PDMS THERMAL BONDING IN FLEXIBLE ELECTRODE FABRICATION
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
The objective of this research is to introduce a chemical-free metal Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) thermal bonding (CFMPTB) in the flexible electrode fabrication by transferring metal onto a PDMS substrate. PDMS is an excellent ...
Physicomechanical Response of Ionic Polyurethanes on Endothelial Cells
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Segmental polyurethanes (PUs) are well-characterized elastomeric biomaterials that are used in vascular graft applications. PU properties can be engineered by tuning their segmental composition and by regulating inter-segmental ...
