Researchers have developed a method that accelerates data acquisition for Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) by ten folds while maintaining high mass and spatial resolution and accuracy. Compared to other methods in MSI data acquisition/reconstruction, this approach exploits redundancy in the data, eventually reducing the time for data collection. The primary applications of the technology will be in clinical diagnostics, drug metabolism studies and localization/characterization of biomolecules within tissue samples.

Researchers have developed two electromechanical patient simulators. These high-performance, cost-effective, patient simulators have received promising clinical feedback suggesting that these devices can mimic the behavior of a real patient by 1) generating a simulated behavior whose triggering and maintaining mechanism aligned with clinicians' experience and 2) recreating a relatively realistic haptic response of affected muscles. These training simulators will not only allow healthcare learners to gain practical experience more efficiently, but they also have the potential to standardize diagnostic procedures and enhance diagnosis accuracy and consistency by providing a relatively realistic, consistent, and scalable training environment for students, allowing learners to gain hands-on experience without the presence of human patients.

Radiological clips, or markers, are inserted at the time of biopsy to mark tumor locations, lesions and lymph nodes for consistent identification over time and multiple treatments. Prof. Michael Oelze has developed a new type of radiological clip that have a unique ultrasonic signal, acting like both a beacon and a barcode. This technology can be particularly helpful to mark multiple areas that are close together.
