| The Biomedical Engineering
Department moved into a new, purpose built, building conveniently
located close to the University Hospital and other medical research buildings
in 2002. This building was funded in large part by a Whitaker Foundation
grant.
Partial list of Equipment in
J. Hossack's Lab.:
Sequoia 512 Ultrasound machine for research
For the Sequoia: I-Beam 3D transducer,
15L8w high resolution transducer (good for mouse imaging and contrast -
including molecular targeted contrast agent work). Additionally, we have
a high resolution prostate I-Beam and a special purpose 3D mouse transducer.
VisualSonics Vevo 770 scanner with transducers
encompassing range 20 - 60 MHz. The Vevo is rented on a temporary basis.
It is intended to purchase a similar system using an anticipated NIH Shared
Equipment grant. (A competitive NIH priority score was obtained.)
PZFlex Finite Element Analysis Software and
SGI Origin 2000 Computer (donated by WAI, from a DoD contract)
Characterization Tank
Large (6' x 4') Newport isolated table
3-Linear axis Newport motion control (0.1
micron) plus one rotational axis
connected to characterization tank for transducer
measurements.
LeCroy Digital Oscilloscope
Tektronix Arbitrary Waveform Generator
Leitz microscope for microbubble work (with
video camera and monitor)
HP Impedance Analyzer (donated by Acuson)
Hydrophone (SEA)
3D Ultrasound phantom
2D RMI Ultrasound phantoms
K&S Semiconductor Dicing Saw (donated
by Philips-ATL)
Transducer Pulsers (Panametrics and Ritec)
