Case Summary:
We at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a postdoctoral fellow in the field of Medical Imaging. This client focused on the development of imaging methods which utilize photoacoustic spectroscopy, diffuse optical tomography, and co-registered ultrasound in order to attain unprecedented accurate medical images. She had also contributed toward the development of a numerical correction method that corrects DOT photon depth dependency, conducted an ex-vivo study of ovarian and breast tumors, and more recently, investigated photoacoustic spectroscopy application for early detection and characterization of osteoporotic bones. These areas of research had resulted in 4 co-authored journal articles, 5 first-authored journal articles, 1 book chapter, and 26 conference presentations and/or papers. The aforementioned publications had been cited 84 times at the time of filing this client’s case, clearly demonstrating that other researchers in the field of Medical Imaging rely on her work. One recommender stated: “I strongly believe that [her] methodology will vastly improve the way doctors detect and treat osteoporosis. Without a doubt, early detection or monitoring the disease with a safe portable and less expensive modality always guarantees better treatment for the patient. I can express nothing but confidence in [Client’s] professional capacity, and I say with unwavering faith that her research stands to provide doctors and patients much-needed aid in diagnosing and treating cancer, osteoporosis and image guided surgery… Her work has been used to improve diagnoses of both breast and ovarian cancer, which are both common diseases with high mortality rates.” This NIW application was approved in 5 months, 8 days.
