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 ...
Development of high-resolution optical tomography with a larger-size projection acquisition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
In the industrial countries, the mortality from arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases has been decreased, but they remain the most common circulatory disease. Recently, new tissue engineering technologies such as ...
Study of human pupillary light reflex and its potential application in autism
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Pupillary light reflex (PLR) can be used as an objective and non-invasive method to evaluate certain brain functions. In this research, we developed ...
Development of tissue based biomaterials for articular cartilage injuries
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Multiple biomaterials have been developed in this work. Decellularized porcine diaphragm extracellular matrix was homogenized and supplemented with various biomodulatory agents. It was developed as an injectable material ...
Prediction of knee loading in native knee and total knee arthroplasty : a forward dynamics computational study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
"The goal of this dissertation is to develop a musculoskeletal model and corroborate model predictions to experimentally measured in vivo knee contact forces, in order to study the biomechanical consequences of two different ...
Flourescent molecular rotors as mechanosensors in biofluids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Many disease states have associated blood viscosity changes. Molecular rotors, fluorescent molecules with viscosity sensitive quantum yields, have recently been investigated as a new method for biofluid viscosity measurement. ...
Risk prediction and an injectable collagen material for intervertebral disc degeneration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
This research primarily focuses on early prediction and treatment for intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). In Phase 1, machine learning algorithms were evaluated to predict the risk of intervertebral disc degeneration ...
