Novel methods for quantifying lung and cardiac diseases with magnetic resonance imaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 5/1/2024] Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced imaging technique that has transformed the field of medical diagnosis and treatment. In the field of lung and cardiac imaging, MRI boasts the ...
Imaging structurual and mechanical properties in cardiovascular tissue using optical polarization tractography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
resolution, however, they are limited by their small field of view and their insufficient effective imaging depth. To address these issues, this dissertation focuses on characterization of the fiber architecture of Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM...
Design and characterization of a hand-held, waveguide-mediated, optoacoustic imaging probe for analyzing burn wounds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Clinicians correctly diagnose only [about]66% of burn wounds, which may be in part due to the qualitative methods commonly employed for burn assessment. This often results in over diagnoses, which may lead to unnecessary ...
A simplified holistic model of pulmonary oxygen transfer and its application in assessing exercise ability of pulmonary patients
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 5/1/2024] Cardio-respiratory fitness is important in predicting health outcomes as it reflects one's capability to deliver and utilize oxygen. In this research, we first developed a simplified holistic ...
Discovery, design, and optimization of implantable/wearable, wireless biosensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
In the world of wireless technology, communication, power supply, and response time of the sensors are the focal points of device design. Bluetooth and Near-Field-Communication (NFC) are two excellent methods of communication ...
