Visible spectroscopic imaging on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak
This dissertation reports on the development of a diagnostic visible imaging system on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak and the results from that system. The dissertation asserts the value of this system as a qualitative and quantitative diagnostic for magnetically confined plasmas. The visible imaging …

Ultrasound shear wave elastography imaging with external mechanical vibration
… in clinical practice as both a non-invasive and quantitative diagnostic modality. Most commercial SWE systems generate shear waves using acoustic radiation force (ARF), which requires complex hardware and is therefore only available on high-end and premium systems. External mechanical vibration …
