Data-driven quasiconformal morphodynamic flows

Posted by dbos April 10, 2024April 15, 2024Harvard, This Week: Nanoscience

Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: Salem Mosleh, Gary P. T. Choi, L. Mahadevan, , | Summary: Temporal imaging of biological epithelial structures yields shape data at discrete time points, leading to a natural question: how can we reconstruct the most likely path of growth patterns consistent with these discrete observations? We present […]

De-aberration for transcranial photoacoustic computed tomography through an adult human skull

Posted by dbos April 9, 2024April 15, 2024Caltech, This Week: Nanoscience

Kavli Affiliate: Lihong V. Wang | First 5 Authors: Yousuf Aborahama, Karteekeya Sastry, Manxiu Cui, Yang Zhang, Yilin Luo | Summary: Noninvasive transcranial photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) of the human brain, despite its clinical potential, remains impeded by the acoustic distortion induced by the human skull. The distortion, which is attributed to the markedly different […]
