101 Christensen, Douglas A.Pulsed Schlieren system for visualizing beams from phased-array HIFU applicatorsWe have assembled a Schlieren system for imaging the beam patterns from HIFU transducers in water to verify the desired beam focusing and direction. It consists of a high power (65 mW) short-pulse (as short as 2 ns) laser emitting at 658 nm, a beam expander/spatial filter, water tank, 400 Jim round ...Ultrasound beam patterns; Pulsed laser; Wavefronts2007
102 Christensen, Douglas A.Ultrasound beam propagation using the hybrid angular spectrum methodWe introduce a fast and accurate numerical method for simulating the propagation of an ultrasound beam inside inhomogeneous tissue for mapping beam absorption, refraction and diffraction in the body. The technique, called the hybrid angular spectrum method, is an extension of the angular spectrum m...Ultrasound beam propagation; Medical ultrasound; Inhomogeneous tissue; Beam simulation2008-08
103 Christensen, Douglas A.Acoustic droplet vaporization, cavitation, and therapeutic properties of copolymer-stabilized perfluorocarbon nanoemulsionsAcoustic and therapeutic properties of Doxorubicin (DOX) and paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions have been investigated in a mouse model of ovarian cancer. The nanoemulsions were stabilized by two biodegradable amphiphilic block copolymers that differed in the structure of the hydr...Cancer therapy; Targeted drug delivery; Nanobubbles; Ultrasound; Perfluoropentane2009
104 Christensen, Douglas A.Introduction to biomedical engineering: biomechanics and bioelectricity - part IIIntended as an introduction to the field of biomedical engineering, this book covers the topics of biomechanics (Part I) and bioelectricity (Part II). Each chapter emphasizes a fundamental principle or law, such as Darcy's Law, Poiseuille's Law, Hooke's Law, Starling's Law, levers and work in the...Bioelectricity; Kirchhoff's voltage law; Kirchhoff's current law; Coulomb's law; Thevenin equivalent circuits; Nernst potential; Matlab2009

106 Jenson, Justin Michael; Bock, Susan C.Mitigating spinal cord injuryHow would your life change if you became one of the 15,000 Americans to suffer a spinal cord injury this year? Trauma to the spinal cord causes immediate loss of function below the level of the injury. Then, in the hours and days after the accident, the body's secondary injury response may extend ...Trapeze Interactive Poster2010-03-15
107 Collins, Zachary J.; Poelzing, StevenCharacterization of a four-camera ratiometric optical mapping systemElectrical activity precedes calcium mediated heart contractions. Optical mapping takes advantage of minimally invasive fluorescent molecular probes to image both electrical and calcium activity. These molecular probes allow for ratiometric imaging. We characterize a four camera system capable of...Optical mapping; Ratiometric imaging; Di-4-ANEPPS; Indo-1; Trapeze Interactive Poster2010-03-15
108 Christensen, Douglas A.Ultrasound beam simulations in inhomogeneous tissue geometries using the hybrid angular spectrum methodThe angular spectrum method is a fast, accurate and computationally efficient method for modeling wave propagation. However, the traditional angular spectrum method assumes that the region of propagation has homogenous properties. In this paper, the angular spectrum method is extended to calculate u...2012-01-01
109 Macleod, Robert S.Sensitivity and specificity of substrate mapping: An in silico framework for the evaluation of electroanatomical substrate mapping strategiesBackground - Voltage mapping is an important tool for characterizing proarrhythmic electrophysiological substrate, yet it is subject to geometric factors that influence bipolar amplitudes and thus compromise performance. The aim of this study was to characterize the impact of catheter orientation on...2014-01-01
