Marvin Doyley Article Featured in Physics in Medicine and Biology
Marvin Doyley (ECE and BME) was invited to write a topical review article by the journal Physics in Medicine and Biology (PMB). This article, titled Model-based elastography: A survey of approached to the inverse elasticity problem, was published online in January and was selected by PMB as their featured article. The review is also featured as Editor's Choice by Medical Physics Web.
The article reviews current approaches to elastography and documents efforts to develop elastography within the framework of solving an inverse problem, so that elastography may provide reliable estimates of mechanical properties of tissue. Dr. Doyley is a member of the Rochester Center for Biomedical Ultrasound (RCBU).

Paper Published by BME Professor Top Peer-Reviewed Research Article for 2011
Mitochondria powering neurons are visible in red.
An article published by BME Research Assistant Professor Seth Perry,
Mitochondrial membrane potential probes and the proton gradient: a practical usage guide,
was BioTechniques top-accessed peer-reviewed paper for 2011. The distinction was determined by number of viewings on BioTechniques.com.Published last February, the paper provides an overview of the strengths and potential problems of the most commonly-used mitochondrial membrane dyes. Other authors of the paper include BME professor Edward Brown, as well as researchers from the URMC Department of Neurology, the Graduate Program in Toxicology, the Center for Neural Development and Disease, and the Department of Microbiology and Immunology.
