Lab Equipment Listing

C-Arm fluroscope with 3D cone-beam CT imaging option. Field of view is about 12cm. Fluroscope cannot be used for human subject imaging.

3-Axis CNC Mill with 12"X10"X14" workspace, 20 tool changer, and 30,000 RPM spindle.

Fiber optic temperature sensors and DAQ. 3 sensors with 10m fiber extensions allow the sensors to be routed into the MRI room through a wave guide for MR safe noise-free temperature measurements during studies.

Video processor for Olympus 180 series flexible endoscopes. Backwards compatible with some older Olympus scopes. No endoscopes are currently available through PracticePoint, research teams must source the scope applicable to their research

A heads up display and headphone system for presenting visual and auditory stimuli to subjects in the MRI machine. Combined with the fMRI pulse sequences on the GE scanner, stimuli can be presented to subjects and neural response based on BOLD signal can be measured.

2 force plates with force/torque measurement. The OPT400600 integrate with the vicon motion capture system to provide measurements of center of pressure and ground reaction forces. Mounted flush with the floor of the motion capture lab using an AMTI rail mounting system.

Stereolithography 3D printer with 145X145X175mm build volume and minimum layer height of 25 microns. A range of materials with different appearances and material properties are available depending on application including biocompatible and sterilizable materials.

Hillrom 1500 patient monitor for measurement of non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), intra-arterial blood pressure (IBP), end-tidal CO2, SpO2, 3 lead ECG, and body temperature. 

150W dual laser sysem with 32" x 18" x 8.5" workspace. This laser cutter is capable of processing acrylic, wood, and other select plastics.

FDM 3D printer with 320X132X154mm build volume and minimum layer height of 100 microns. The printer uses a proprietary "Onyx" base material composed of nylon impregnated with chopped carbon fiber. Layers of carbon fiber, fiberglass, or kevlar fiber reinforcement can be added between layers.

Metal 3D printing process composing of an FDM 3D printer, a wash station, and a sintering oven. Parts can be printed with stainless steel, inconel, tool steel, or copper.

10 Camera marker-based motion capture system with sub mm accuracy and full room capture volume. Installed in purpose-built motion capture lab and integrated with other biomechanics tools

3T MRI with 70cm bore. Full suite of imaging coils and scan sequence options. The MRI can be used for IRB approved human subject imaging, device testing, and phantom imaging.

Juno Complete Skills Manikin is designed to teach clinical nursing skills, from task training through advanced patient care scenarios.

NDI Polaris Vega ST optical tracker designed for surgical navigation applications. The tracking bar contains 2 cameras which localize passive reflective markers that are attached to surgical instruments. 

HD Camera head and light source for use with rigid endoscopes. A small selection of standard rigid scopes are available for use.

Rework station for soldering fine-pitch components with hidden pads. The rework station has two cameras to simultaneously look at and align the circuit board footprint with the bottom of the surface mount component. Places components to within 0.01mm accuracy.

Waterjet cutter with 12"X12" workspace and 30,000 PSI pump. This waterjet can process most materials including metals, plastics, and ceramics.

16 Channel wireless EMG system with 16 avanti surface mount EMG sensors for measuring muscle activation. These sensors also include accelerometer, gyro, and magentometer measurements for quantifying body motion.
