This $274,547 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program aims to develop a novel Aneurysm Sealing Device (ASD) for endovascular treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA). The project seeks to create a device that can completely seal the aneurysm sac, reducing the risk of post-procedure complications and the need for repeat interventions. Key objectives include validating the device's adaptability...
The National Science Foundation awarded Rowan University a $100,000 Project Grant under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program to develop an automatic aortic aneurysm screening software platform using deep learning models. The platform aims to improve the speed and efficiency of computed tomography scan readings, 3D image reconstruction, and aortic aneurysm screening, which are currently done manually. The software will use adaptive image processing and ensemble-based object...
