TERSE: Transmission and Emission Reconstruction Software Environment

0873 – TERSE: a transmission and emission reconstruction environment for SPECT, has been developed at the University of Michigan by Jeff Fessler and Edward Ficaro, in a collaboration between the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and the Division of Nuclear Medicine. TERSE consists of an X-windows graphical user interface to portions of the ASPIRE software libraries... Read More

Universal, Wireless Nano-optical Voltmeters

3293 – Many biological processes depend on proper functioning and maintenance of cellular electric fields. As such, measurement of electrical activities within living cells is essential in understanding the electrophysiology of a cell and associated disease states. To date, most of what is known about cellular electrical activities are derived from measurements made across cell membrane, and not... Read More

A Method and Apparatus for Alignment of a Sequence of High Dimensional Data

3043 – Image registration transforms different sets of data into a single coordinate system and is thus critical for comparison and integration of data obtained from different measurements. This technique is useful in the medical imaging field as well as in other monitoring, observation and tracking applications. Image registration is complex especially when the images to be correlated exhibit... Read More

Compact X-ray Source

2758 – In order to satisfy the needs of basic research as well as industry, there is currently great interest in coherent, ultrashort-pulse-duration and high-power light sources. In basic research, large (kilometer) x-ray synchrotrons have met some of these needs, but they are extremely expensive, costing hundreds of millions of dollars. Thus, there is a need for an affordable and compact... Read More

High Energy Particle Generation and Nuclear Transformation Using a Short Pulse Laser

1905 – A number of radioisotopes are currently utilized as markers and for purposes in various medical, scientific, industrial and other applications. However, radioisotopes frequently have a relatively short half-life, from a few hours to a few minutes. In Positron Emission Tomography (PET) facilities, radioisotopes are derived from targets by bombarding them with high-energy protons or... Read More

Augmented Reality Radiation Display System

1677 – Real-time radiation detection is critical in situations where there is danger of exposure to non-background levels of energetic particles and ionizing photos, as well as in the monitoring and demonstration of safe work environments in nuclear power and radioactive waste and materials facilities. University of Michigan researchers have created a high-speed, three-dimensional,... Read More
