Patient-Specific Models May Predict Brain Aneurysms
Learn how engineers use medical imaging technology to build
patient-specific models of aneurysms to help doctors predict
areas of danger. The models show 3D renderings of an aneurysm
from initial baseline imaging data. They compute the blood
velocities in the aneurysms throughout the cardiac cycle.
Combining observation of the fluid flow with the deformation of
the vessel walls, and comparing these observations with followup
imagery, the team is able to pinpoint specific areas of concern.
Muscle Measurement with Magnetic Implants
Researchers have validated a strategy for measuring muscle
motion through the use of implanted magnetic beads. These
magnetic beads are also biocompatible, which is necessary for
applying this technology toward improved control over
prostheses and exoskeletons. Using a compass-like sensor
attached to the outside of the body, their system can track the
distances between the two magnets. When a muscle contracts,
the magnets move closer together, and when it flexes, they
move further apart.
Stamp-Sized Stickers Can See Inside the Body
Engineers are developing an adhesive device capable of
providing continuous ultrasound imaging of internal organs, and
it's no bigger than a stamp. The researchers applied the stickers
to volunteers and showed that the devices produced live, highresolution
images of major blood vessels and deeper organs
such as the heart, lungs, and stomach. The stickers maintained a
strong adhesion and captured changes in underlying organs as
volunteers performed various activities.
Critical Procedures Made Easier with Intubation Upgrade
Engineering students are working to make intubation more
intuitive and air more accessible to patients with a wireless video
laryngoscope. The handheld, 3D printed device contains a
miniature wireless camera. Clinicians can use a switch on the
comfortable handle to adjust light from an LED near the camera,
which feeds high-resolution video to one or multiple monitors.
A tapered blade combines a the profile of a straight blade with
the stabilization afforded by curved blades.
