Overview:

Advised by Dr. Fred Baik and Dr. Bruce Daniel, I have designed a MR/AR system to help medical trainees accurately locate the location of sentinel lympth nodes in neck from PET/MRI scans. Highly accurate results were obtained from 5 cadaver studies. This work has been accepted by the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (co-first).

Why Important?

Using a probe to detect radioactive signals is confusing and not easy to use. Besides, surgeons have to constantly rotate their head to read the signal intro-opratively. This augmented reality approach is convinient, user-friendly, and more accurate.

Skills:

Cadaver Handeling (lots of blood/liquid), UWP, Unity 3D, Data Analysis, Research Coordination.
