Instrumentation, Imaging and Image-Guided Therapy
Development of tools has always been central to bioengineering, whether for diagnosis or therapy; imaging technologies, in particular, have long been a specialty of UW BIOE. For decades, our imaging work has included systems that probe materials surfaces at the atomic level, as it helps us to understand interactions between living and nonliving materials in vivo. UW BIOE researchers are developing new imaging contrast agents, new computational methods for enhancing imaging, devices to improve the diagnoses and characterization of cancer and other diseases, and technologies to improve treatment through targeted delivery of therapies to diseased cells and tissues.
