Prof. Xiang has recently received a seed grant from The University of Oklahoma Institute for Biomedical Engineering, Science, and Technology (IBEST) in partnership with the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC). Dr. Liangzhong Xiang at OU Norman and Dr. Kelly Stratton (Urologic Oncologist) from OUHSC are developing a new medical imaging device, called Photoacoustic Cystoscope, for prostate cancer (PCa) imaging and image-guided biopsy. It will help identify and monitor patients who need no further treatment, as well as aid in reducing false negative results due to poor cancer targeting of transrectal ultrasound biopsy needles.
