Board 19: Work in Progress: Integrating Ethics Education across the Biomedical Engineering Curriculum Increases Student Awareness of Frameworks and Broader Applications to Practice

Conference ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition, Conference Proceedings · June 25, 2023 The intersection of human health and designing novel technologies that improve medical outcomes requires personal and professional introspection on the ethical dilemmas that clinicians and engineers will face in their careers. Given the diverse field of bi ... Cite

Creating a biomedical engineering summer study abroad program in Costa Rica

Conference ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition, Conference Proceedings · June 15, 2019 Faculty at Duke University created a 6-week summer study abroad program in Costa Rica to allow more biomedical engineers to reap the benefits of study abroad programs. Students could take one of two technical, required engineering courses, either BME 271A: ... Cite

Creating new labs for an existing required biomedical engineering imaging course

Conference ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition, Conference Proceedings · June 23, 2018 In an effort to increase hands on learning in the biomedical engineering curriculum, laboratory components have been added to many core courses at XXXX University. One such course is BME XXX: Modern Diagnostic Imaging Systems. Taught for (junior and/or sen ... Cite

Small animal imaging with magnetic resonance microscopy

Journal Article ILAR Journal · September 11, 2012 Small animal magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) has evolved significantly from testing the boundaries of imaging physics to its expanding use today as a tool in noninvasive biomedical investigations. MRM now increasingly provides functional information ab ... Cite

Morphological studies of the murine heart based on probabilistic and statistical atlases.

Journal Article Comput Med Imaging Graph · March 2012 This study directly compares morphological features of the mouse heart in its end-relaxed state based on constructed morphometric maps and atlases using principal component analysis in C57BL/6J (n=8) and DBA (n=5) mice. In probabilistic atlases, a gradient ... Full text Link to item Cite

Cardiovascular phenotyping of the mouse heart using a 4D radial acquisition and liposomal Gd-DTPA-BMA.

Journal Article Magn Reson Med · April 2010 MR microscopy has enormous potential for small-animal cardiac imaging because it is capable of producing volumetric images at multiple time points to accurately measure cardiac function. MR has not been used as frequently as ultrasound to measure cardiac f ... Full text Link to item Cite

Four-dimensional MR microscopy of the mouse heart using radial acquisition and liposomal gadolinium contrast agent.

Journal Article Magn Reson Med · July 2008 Magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) has become an important tool for small animal cardiac imaging. In relation to competing technologies (microCT and ultrasound), MR is limited by spatial resolution, temporal resolution, and acquisition time. All three of ... Full text Link to item Cite

Multispectral imaging with three-dimensional rosette trajectories.

Journal Article Magn Reson Med · March 2008 Two-dimensional intersecting k-space trajectories have previously been demonstrated to allow fast multispectral imaging. Repeated sampling of k-space points leads to destructive interference of the signal coming from the off-resonance spectral peaks; on-re ... Full text Link to item Cite

Small animal imaging with magnetic resonance microscopy.

Journal Article ILAR J · 2008 Small animal magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) has evolved significantly from testing the boundaries of imaging physics to its expanding use today as a tool in noninvasive biomedical investigations. MRM now increasingly provides functional information ab ... Full text Link to item Cite

Imaging methods for morphological and functional phenotyping of the rodent heart.

Journal Article Toxicol Pathol · 2006 Small animal imaging has a critical role in phenotyping, drug discovery, and in providing a basic understanding of mechanisms of disease. Translating imaging methods from humans to small animals is not an easy task. The purpose of this work is to compare t ... Full text Link to item Cite

Designing a MATLAB-based Escape Room

Conference Escape rooms promote creative thinking, teamwork, communication, and cooperation, making them valuable tools for educational applications. However, physical escape rooms can be expensive to construct, impractical for temporary use, and difficult to adapt f ... Link to item Cite
