DaVinci Robot For Treating Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid cancer is a disease which affects 37,000 patients in the US each year according to the National Cancer Institute. It affects female patients more commonly. In fact the incidence in females can be as high as three to one. Patients affected by thyroid cancer are usually younger, in age group 30 to 55 years. [...]

Circular External Fixator To Treat Charcot Foot Disease

Circular External Fixator To Treat Charcot Foot Disease

Charcot foot is a medical condition which occurs in patients having significant nerve damage (neuropathy). This nerve damage limits the ability of the patient to feel pain when foot is injured due to bumping or overdoing an exercise program. As a result of inability to feel the pain, the patient continues to use the injured [...]

Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography

Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a nuclear medicine tomographic imaging technique which uses gamma rays for detection of cancer or infection. It is different from other imaging techniques as it is able to provide true three dimensional image data of cross-sectional slices through the human body using tomographic reconstruction algorithm to edit images [...]

Microfluidic Biosensors

30 August 2008

Biosensor can be defined as a device which is used to detect an analyte. Microfluidic bio sensor comes mainly in two categories. They are Florescent based devices and electrochemistry based devices. This categorisation of the microfluidic biosensor is based on its detection capability. One important characteristic of both these devices is that both of them [...]
