    摘要: A method of diagnosing intraocular tumors including illuminating a tissue sample using a pulsed light source resulting in output of heat and thermoelastic expansion of the tissue sample. The thermoelastic expansion of the tissue sample produces propagating waves in ultrasonic frequencies. The propagating waves are acquired using an ultrasound system and back-projection reconstruction, thereby mapping anatomies with optical contrast at ultrasonic resolution to image intraocular tumors.

    摘要: A novel SH-SAW biosensor capable of non-invasive and touch-free detection of cancer cell viability and growth or proliferation in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures as well as stem cell regeneration as it pertains to cancer cell biology and anti-cancer drug development is presented. The biosensor includes two pairs of resonators including interdigital transducers reflecting fingers to quantify mass loading by the cells in suspension as well as within a tumoroid culture platform. The biosensor can be part of a perfused 3PNS-tumoroid system that is amenable to real-time non-invasive monitoring of the cell proliferation, viability, and multiplexed detection of key physiologic and clinical biomarkers.

    摘要: The subject disclosure presents systems and methods for evaluating a tissue sample that has been removed from a subject. Movement of fluid through the tissue sample is monitored by measuring time of flight of acoustic waves passed through the tissue sample. A system for performing the method can include a transmitter that outputs the energy and a receiver configured to detect the transmitted energy. Using the methods and systems, an optimized protocol for ensuring adequate distribution of the fluid throughout a variety of tissues can be developed.

    摘要: The subject disclosure presents systems and computer-implemented methods for determining an acoustic time-of- flight (TOF) of sound waves through a sample material with greater accuracy and in a more repeatable fashion, by invoking one or more of an envelope generation for an error function, fitting a non-linear curve to an ultrasound frequency sweep, or performing a clustered piece-wise linear regression on individual linear parts of the ultrasonic frequency sweep. The systems and methods are useful for, among other things, monitoring diffusion of fluids through porous materials, such as tissue samples.

    摘要: A system is provided for component separation. In an embodiment, a light source or other source of electromagnetic energy delivers energy to a volume of tissue. A transducer array or other sensor receives a resulting acoustic signal, and a processing subsystem processes the acoustic signal to separate a direct acoustic return component from a secondary acoustic return component of the acoustic signal. An output and/or storage device presents and/or stores information about the direct acoustic return component, the secondary acoustic return component, or both. Other embodiments include a coded probe, a probe having an isolator that produces a wavefront, a sensor for measuring intensity of an acoustic wave produced by absorbed photons, and a system that receives acoustic signals from surface targets to determine an optical parameter of the volume.

    摘要: Systems and techniques for estimating acoustic attenuation in a tissue from time-varying radiation force information generated through the application of acoustic energy to the tissue from at least first and second focal depths are provided. An exemplary technique includes acquiring first signals representing oscillatory motion of the tissue in response to the radiation force proximate the first focal depth, and acquiring second signals representing oscillatory motion of the tissue in response to the radiation force proximate the second focal depth. The technique further includes estimating the oscillatory motion of the tissue from each of the first and second signals, and estimating the acoustic attenuation in the tissue from the estimated oscillatory motion of the tissue from the first and second signals.
