NSF/FDA SIR: 3D-printed Biomimetic Phantoms for Near-Infrared Spectroscopy System Performance Testing

PI: Chen， Yu提案号：1542063 PI建议开发用于表征重要类别的微创诊断医疗设备的先进方法。它旨在开发用于近红外光谱系统（NIRS）性能测试的3d打印仿生模型。微创技术构成了现代医疗器械领域的主要推动力。严格表征的幻影对于设计和评估先进的医学成像模式（例如，CT， MRI）至关重要。到目前为止，还没有成熟的基于幽灵的测试方法来评估诸如近红外氧饱和度仪或血肿检测系统等关键技术领域。这一提议将为这种极具前景的诊断技术的有效开发和监管批准扫清道路。提出了教育、指导和推广活动的计划，以推进拟议的跨学科研究计划。

PI: Chen, Yu Proposal Number:1542063 The PI proposes to develop advanced methods for characterizing an important category of minimally-invasive diagnostic medical devices. It aims to develop 3D-printed biomimetic phantoms for the performance testing of near-infrared spectroscopy systems (NIRS). Minimally-invasive technologies constitute a major thrust in the modern medical device universe. Rigorously characterized phantoms are essential for the design and evaluation of advanced medical imaging modalities (e.g., CT, MRI). To date no well-established phantom-based test methods exist for evaluating such key technology areas as NIRS oximetry devices or hematoma detection systems. This proposal would clear the way for efficient development and regulatory approval of this highly promising diagnostic technology. Plans are presented for educational, mentoring, and outreach activities to advance the proposed cross-disciplinary research program.
