This lab has a variety of specialized biomedical engineering sensors and measurement equipment, including:

  • Medical ultrasound imaging with linear and convex probes
  • Ultrasonic measurements with a mechanical 3D scanner
  • Electrical impedance tomography imaging system from lead groups/companies in the field (Cardinal Health, Goe MFII; Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Sigmatome II; Uni Cape Town; Swisstom, Mark I)
  • Sixteen channel Grass-Telefactor biological signal acquisition system capable of collecting various biological signals, such as electromyograms, electrocardiograms, electroencelphograms, and electroneurograms
  • Bruker Minspec NMR spectrometer capable of bulk NMR relaxometry and diffusometry measurements
  • Bioimpedance measurement system consisting of a frequency response analyzer (Model 1255A, Solartron Analytical) and an impedance interface (Model 1294A, Solartron Analytical)
  • Equipment for physiology and respiratory monitoring, including total body plethysmography is available.
  • AlphaMOS electronic nose system, consisting of the FOX and KRONOS technologies (Metal Oxide Sensor array system and Fingerprint Mass Spectrometry, respectively), with an autosampler.
  • High-power workstations available for graduate students, including a number of GPU-multicore systems for acceleration of biomedical informatics computing
  • High end measurement equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes from National Instruments and Tektronics)
