  3. About Yan Wang

    Yan Wang

    Yan Wang is a second-year graduate student in PhD program in the Bioengineering Department at University of California, Riverside. She is the lead graduate student on efforts to use PS-OCT to assess peripheral nerve damage quantitatively. She obtained a B.S. in Optoelectronic Science and Engineering and M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China. Her undergraduate study and graduate research experience in China ideally situated her to move this project forward with guidance from Dr. Park and assistance from the other members of the research group. The upcoming oral BIOS presentation at SPIE Photonics West 2010 will provide invaluable experience in communicating the results of Yan’s work, as well as broaden her exposure to current leading research in the field.

    2. Extracting structural features of rat sciatic nerve using polarization-sensitive spectral domain optical coherence tomography

      Explore Linking to Scitation Content (May 4 2012) Neurology

      Extracting structural features of rat sciatic nerve using polarization-sensitive spectral domain optical coherence tomography We present spectral domain polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (SD PS-OCT) imaging of peripheral nerves. Structural and polarization-sensitive OCT imaging of uninjured rat sciatic nerves was evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively. OCT and its functional extension, PS-OCT, were used to image sciatic nerve structure with clear delineation of the nerve boundaries to muscle and adipose tissues. A long-known optical effect, bands of Fontana, was also observed. Postprocessing analysis of these images ... (Read Full Article)
