Journal Article
Watson, N. J., Johal, R. K., Glover, Z., Reinwald, Y., White, L. J., Ghaemmaghami, A. M., …Parker, N. G. (2013). Post-processing of polymer foam tissue scaffolds with high power ultrasound: A route to increased pore interconnectivity, pore size and fluid transport. Materials Science and Engineering: C, 33(8), 4825-4832. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msec.2013.07.046

The aimof this work is to demonstrate that the structural and fluidic properties of polymer foamtissue scaffolds, post-fabrication but prior to the introduction of cells, can be engineered via exposure to high power ultrasound. Our analysis is suppor... Read More about Post-processing of polymer foam tissue scaffolds with high power ultrasound: A route to increased pore interconnectivity, pore size and fluid transport.

Laser Doppler blood flow imaging using a CMOS imaging sensor with on-chip signal processing (2013)
Journal Article
He, D., Nguyen, H. C., Hayes-Gill, B. R., Zhu, Y., Crowe, J. A., Gill, C., …Morgan, S. P. (2013). Laser Doppler blood flow imaging using a CMOS imaging sensor with on-chip signal processing. Sensors, 13(9), https://doi.org/10.3390/s130912632

The first fully integrated 2D CMOS imaging sensor with on-chip signal processing for applications in laser Doppler blood flow (LDBF) imaging has been designed and tested. To obtain a space efficient design over 64 × 64 pixels means that standard proc... Read More about Laser Doppler blood flow imaging using a CMOS imaging sensor with on-chip signal processing.

Pulsed ultrasound modulated optical tomography utilizing the harmonic response of lock-in detection (2013)
Journal Article
Ruan, H., Mather, M., & Morgan, S. P. (2013). Pulsed ultrasound modulated optical tomography utilizing the harmonic response of lock-in detection. Applied Optics, 52(19), https://doi.org/10.1364/AO.52.004755

Ultrasound modulated optical tomography (USMOT) can image the optical properties of a scattering medium at a spatial resolution approaching that of ultrasound (US). A lock-in parallel speckle detection technique is proposed to detect pulsed US modu...

Pulsed ultrasound modulated optical tomography with harmonic lock-in holography detection (2013)
Journal Article
Ruan, H., Mather, M., & Morgan, S. P. (2013). Pulsed ultrasound modulated optical tomography with harmonic lock-in holography detection. Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 30(7), https://doi.org/10.1364/JOSAA.30.001409

A method that uses digital heterodyne holography reconstruction to extract scattered light modulated by a singlecycle ultrasound (US) burst is demonstrated and analyzed. An US burst is used to shift the pulsed laser frequency by a series of discrete... Read More about Pulsed ultrasound modulated optical tomography with harmonic lock-in holography detection.

User needs elicitation via analytic hierarchy process (AHP): a case study on a Computed Tomography (CT) scanner. BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 13(2), https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6947-13-2

Background: The rigorous elicitation of user needs is a crucial step for both medical device design and purchasing. However, user needs elicitation is often based on qualitative methods whose findings can be difficult to integrate into medical decisi...
