Co Chair
Dr. Camp/Camp M.D.
- 1 year
Children
I, along with 2 others, organized the 2017 Dr. Camp/Camp M.D., which are outreach camps for under-represented minorities in the healthcare professions. As I am an MD/PhD student, I emphasized on teaching the children about dual degree career paths. Attendee ages range from 3rd to the 12th grade. These camps are in collaboration with MICI-AHEC and focus on exposing the children more specifically, but not solely, to careers as physicians.

Health
Have you ever walked into a large hospital, especially one that is being renovated, and gotten lost or frustrated as to where you were supposed to be going? I function as a welcoming face and assistant to ease the transition from arrival at the MU Hospital to the patient's ultimate destination, while trying to help relieve the stressful time they may be facing.

Emergency Room Assistant
University of Missouri Health Care
- 11 months
Health
The emergency room (ER) is a hectic place in the hospital. A wide range of unfortunate events lead one to need to venture to the ER. Due to the ciaos, the duration in which one is in the ER can be lengthy. I assist in shortening that time by stocking supplies, cleaning rooms and trauma bays, and entertaining children who may be exposed to traumatizing situations. In addition, I am able to observe many cases and procedures, which builds my knowledge of medicine for my future.

Cylindrical illumination with angular coupling for whole-prostate photoacoustic tomography.
Biomedical Optics Express
Current diagnosis of prostate cancer relies on histological analysis of tissue samples acquired by biopsy, which could benefit from real-time identification of suspicious lesions. Photoacoustic tomography has the potential to provide real-time targets for prostate biopsy guidance with chemical selectivity, but light delivered from the rectal cavity has been unable to penetrate to the anterior prostate. To overcome this barrier, a urethral device with cylindrical illumination is developed for…
Current diagnosis of prostate cancer relies on histological analysis of tissue samples acquired by biopsy, which could benefit from real-time identification of suspicious lesions. Photoacoustic tomography has the potential to provide real-time targets for prostate biopsy guidance with chemical selectivity, but light delivered from the rectal cavity has been unable to penetrate to the anterior prostate. To overcome this barrier, a urethral device with cylindrical illumination is developed for whole-prostate imaging, and its performance as a function of angular light coupling is evaluated with a prostate-mimicking phantom.

Photoacoustic tomography of intact human prostates and vascular texture analysis identify prostate cancer biopsy targets
Photoacoustics
Prostate cancer is poorly visualized on ultrasonography (US) so that current biopsy requires either a templated technique or guidance after fusion of US with magnetic resonance imaging. Here we determined the ability for photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and US followed by texture-based image processing to identify prostate biopsy targets. K-means clustering feature learning and testing was performed on separate datasets comprised of 1064 and 1197 nm PAT and US images of intact, ex vivo human…
Prostate cancer is poorly visualized on ultrasonography (US) so that current biopsy requires either a templated technique or guidance after fusion of US with magnetic resonance imaging. Here we determined the ability for photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and US followed by texture-based image processing to identify prostate biopsy targets. K-means clustering feature learning and testing was performed on separate datasets comprised of 1064 and 1197 nm PAT and US images of intact, ex vivo human prostates. 1197 nm PAT was found to not contribute to the feature learning, and thus, only 1064 nm PAT and US images were used for final feature testing. Biopsy targets, determined by the tumor-assigned pixels’ center of mass, located 100% of the primary lesions and 67% of the secondary lesions. In conclusion, 1064 nm PAT and US texture-based feature analysis provided successful prostate biopsy targets.
