Standards Development to Ensure Reliable Breath Analysis in the Field

Ongoing
Numerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been identified in human breath. These compounds can be produced by the body or by organisms in the body (e.g., bacteria or viruses) and provide a non-invasive window into human health. Inexpensive point-of-care devices are being developed to diagnose

Statistical Methods for Quantitative Imaging

Ongoing
In this project, we have gained valuable experience in the emerging area of developing metrology support for medical image decision making, and we have focused mainly in the area of high resolution CT imaging for lung nodules,using both phantoms and clinical data, in the context of RSNA's QIBA

NIST PS1 Primary Standard for quantitative NMR (Benzoic Acid)

Completed
With explicit SI linkage, the overall impact of this apical reference material is profound—this primary standard, as well as forthcoming members of its class, provides technology transfer of chemical purity realization to the commercial sector for characterization of many thousands of organic
