(Texas A&M University, 2000)Hypertension is a major risk factor for a variety of cardiovascular diseases like atherosclerosis, stroke, dissecting aortic aneurysms, etc. and is responsible for significant mortality and morbidity. Hypertension results ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)In response to chronic hypertension, the heart and vasculature exhibit morphologic changes that reflect alterations in net gains and losses of their cellular components, i.e. they grow and remodel. Vascular remodeling is ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)We have applied the synthetic-aperture method to linear-scanning microwave-induced thermoacoustic tomography in biological tissues. A non-focused ultrasonic transducer was used to receive thermoacoustic signals, to which ...
-
Model for a web based communication system between clinical engineers and medical device companies (Texas A&M University, 1999)The Internet and its use is proliferating. Many medical device manufacturers have their own web sites where they provide useful, but not standardized information about their products and services. Similarly hospitals and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1999)Technology is the primary driving force for change in today's healthcare environment. Understanding the dynamics of medical technology and applying probative management measures can be accomplished with a medical technology ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)The objective of this project is to design a hospital technology management system that is web-based. Technology management may be defined as 'an accountable, systematic approach to ensure that cost-effective, efficacious, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)The aim of this project was to theoretically model the propagation of polarized light through the corneal layer of the anterior chamber of the rabbit's eye as a Mueller matrix and to verify the model experimentally. The ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1998)Treatment of many medical disorders, such as diabetes hics. and other hormonal or metabolic imbalances, requires accurate blood analysis. Conventionally, blood is analyzed by withdrawing a sample from the body of the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2003)Current techniques for monitoring glucose and lactate concentrations in cell culture media require invasive and tedious handling of the sample for sterile media removal and nutrient replacement. Even though in situ or ex ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1998)The objective of this research project was to accurately measure changes in collagen thickness with a Michelson interferometry system. The system consists of a reference interferometer with a laser source and a measurement ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1999)Laser photo-coagulation is gaining immense popularity in surgery and medicine because of its minimally invasive nature with very short surgery times. The principal contribution of this thesis is demonstrating the ability ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)Since the parameters used for diagnosis may differ from physician to physician, the attending medical staff often finds it confusing to make a decision as to whether or not to notify the particular physician of their ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1999)The objective of this research was to create mathematical models suitable for use in the design and operation of active optical proximity sensors based on infrared optoelectronic components. Computer simulation using Monte ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)Over 50,000 people per year will be diagnosed with skin cancer in one of its various forms, making it the seventh most common form of cancer in the United States. Currently the only method to diagnose suspicious lesions ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)Rapid advances in high performance global communication have accelerated telemedicine-based medical services to a new frontier. Traditional medical services can now fully utilize multimedia technologies to provide novel ...
