MRI Motion Actuator for Enhanced Spinal Elastography
Team Members: Tarush Shankar, Kyle Wiskel, Aryan Singh, Andrei Bagui
This is a mechanical device that provides vibrational frequencies of constant amplitude which can be used in the detection of IVD degeneracy. The device goes underneath the patient's back and provides the necessary vibrations to produce Magnetic Resonant I mages based on the data collected and interpreted by that MRI machine. This could help detect the degeneracy of the IVDs at an earlier stage and also asses the quality of the tissues accurately.
