 Mark GonyeaSmyrna High School Algebra II/Computer Programming Dr. Tom Yankeelov - VUIIS This summer I continued research on fluorescent imaging in the Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging using the CRI maestro Q ( a newer version of the device I used last summer). This summer's emphasis was on determining the feasibility of SNARF-4 Dye to detect pH levels in tissue. Through this research, we were able to determine the sensitivity of this dye was at least accurate to within .1 steps of pH. The research will continue as I leave in hopes of using this technology to determine non-invasively if a mass is cancerous without having to take a biopsy. I plan on taking this research and adding to last year's module to build a mosiac of computer programming. Students will add onto last year's module by developing code that will find the spectral curves of an image taken at several different wave lengths. |
