Development and Validation of a Brain Phantom for Therapeutic Cooling Devices
… and injuries, and has been applied to the brain to treat epilepsy and concussions, leading to improved long-term outcomes. To facilitate the study of temperature reduction as a function of various cooling methods, a thermal brain phantom was developed and analyzed. The phantom is composed …

Swelling properties of hydrogel coatings on neural devices
Glial scarring is a major problem seen in brain electrode implants that can hinder electrode function. One major contributing factor is the mechanical mismatch between the stiff electrode and the soft brain tissue'. Hydrogel coatings are being investigated to determine their effectiveness in …

Beam characterization for accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy using the ⁹Be(d,n) nuclear reaction
… rates and dosimetric profiles in a water-filled brain phantom using an existing heavy water moderator and lead reflector assembly. Dosimetry results were obtained using the dual ionization chamber technique coupled with bare and cadmium-covered gold foils. Data have been taken with deuteron beams …

Creation of brain tissue-mimicking material and multi-material gradient 3D printer for magnetic resonance elastography phantom
… currently used clinically for scanning the human brain, mainly because it has not been validated with independent mechanical property testing methods. This project focused on the creation of a brain tissue-mimicking phantom that simulates both the chemical composition and mechanical properties of …
