-
Intracortical visual prosthesis to help people who are blind
A device implanted in the brain is being tested to help people who are blind see by creating artificial vision.
-
Advanced Tools for Understanding Muscle Diseases
This project creates new computer tools to better understand how muscles work and what goes wrong in heart and muscle diseases.
-
Improving surgical margin analysis for head and neck cancer surgery
This study is testing a new imaging system that helps doctors quickly check the edges of tissue removed during head and neck cancer surgery to make sure they got all the cancer, which could help patients have better outcomes and lower chances of the cancer coming back.
-

-
Improving heart imaging by reducing radiation and scan time
This study is looking at new ways to make heart scans safer and quicker for patients, especially older adults, by using advanced technology to lower the amount of radiation and time needed for the procedure while still getting accurate results.
-
Using MRI to predict brain changes related to aging
This study is looking to create a new way to use MRI scans to spot a brain condition called TDP43 that can affect memory and thinking in older adults, and it's for older folks who don’t have dementia yet.
-
Measuring how the heart uses oxygen in patients with heart damage without using contrast agents
This study is testing a new, safer MRI method to see how well the heart uses oxygen in people who have had a heart attack, helping doctors make better treatment choices without the need for invasive procedures.
