A Steerable, Optically Guided System for Detection of Ureteral Injury and Ureteral Catheterization
This technology is a therapeutic and diagnostic one-time-use device to place a ureteral catheter or stent without fluoroscopic guidance. Enhancements to the device may allow detection of injury to the ureter via Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and treatment of nephrolithiasis via laser lithotripsy. This small-diameter ureteral catheter or stent comprises...

Angle-Resolved Second Harmonic Generation Measurements for Cancer Diagnosis in Semi-Infinite Tissue
This innovation is a new method that uses angular differences in conjunction with an endoscope to identify cancerous or pre-cancerous colon tissue. Existing methods require a reference measurement ('normal') in every patient compared to a cancer-suspicious measurement. Instead, this method and endoscope provide for angle-resolved second harmonic...

Non-Imaging, Random-Sampling Second Harmonic Generation Measurements to Distinguish Colon Cancer
Second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy has become a powerful modality for imaging a diverse range of tissues. A preliminary study demonstrated that non-imaging, randomly sampled SHG intensity measurements are likely sufficient to distinguish normal colorectal tissue from tumor/tumor-adjacent tissue with digital simulation of random sampling. While...

Mode Scrambler for Increasing Numerical Aperture
This project is one of the three improvements to a falloposcope under development described in UA19-249. This falloposcope was designed with optical elements selected for detection of early stage ovarian cancer in fallopian tube epithelium. The mode scrambler improvement in this project acts to widen and brighten the illumination profile to better serve...
