Cardiovascular simulations are increasingly used for non-invasive diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, to guide treatment decisions, and in the design of medical devices. Quantitative assessment of the variability of simulation outputs due…
Cementless implants are widely used in orthopedic and oral surgery. However, debonding-related failure still occurs at the bone-implant interface. It remains difficult to predict such implant failure since the underlying osseointegration…
ABSTRACT: Temperature monitoring is extremely im-portant during thermotherapy. Fiber-optic temperature sensors are preferred because of their flexibility and im-munity to electromagnetic interference. Although many types of fiber-optic…
The purpose of the presented investigations is to design, construct and establish the characteristic performance of the Jagiellonian Positron Emission Mammography(J-PEM), being designed for the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. Its…
Physical and biological range uncertainties limit the clinical potential of Proton Beam Therapy (PBT). In this proceedings, we report on two research projects, which we are conducting in parallel and which both tackle the problem of range…
In this contribution we present numerical and experimental results of a parametric quantitative study of radiative dipole antennas in a phased array configuration for efficient body magnetic resonance imaging at 7T via parallel…
Calcium oxalate crystals are the most common biominerals found in plants. They also make their presence known as painful kidney stones in humans and animals. Their function in plants is extraordinarily versatile and encompasses calcium…
The H-scan approach is a matched filter methodology that aims to add information to the traditional ultrasound B-scan. The theory is based on the differences in the echoes produced by different classes of reflectors or scatterers. Matched…
Multi-energy CT takes advantage of the non-linearly varying attenuation properties of elemental media with respect to energy, enabling more precise material identification than single-energy CT. The increased precision comes with the cost…
Theory of a high impedance coil (HIC) - a cable loop antenna with a modified shield - is discussed comprehensively for both in transmitting and receiving regimes. Understanding a weakness of the previously reported HIC in transmitting…
Recent Alzheimer's disease (AD) patient studies have focused on retinal analysis, as the retina is the only part of the central nervous system which can be imaged non-invasively by optical methods. However as this is a relatively new…
Purpose: Multiple Coulomb scattering (MCS) poses a challenge in proton CT (pCT) image reconstruction. The assumption of straight paths is replaced with Bayesian models of the most likely path (MLP). Current MLP-based pCT reconstruction…
In this paper, it is first discovered that EcN has natural magnetically controlled properties, that is, E coli Nissle 1917 cells move in a gradient magnetic field of permanent magnets without artificial magnetic labeling. It is also shown…
Purpose: To develop a framework to reconstruct large-scale volumetric dynamic MRI from rapid continuous and non-gated acquisitions, with applications to pulmonary and dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) imaging. Theory and Methods: The problem…
The purpose of this study was to develop a method for tissue elasticity imaging using tagged magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). First, we developed a cyclic pressure device that used air to remotely transmit the power to generate cyclic…
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a non-invasive, non-ionizing imaging technique for the visualization and quantification of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The technique is especially suitable for cell imaging as it offers zero background…
Chest radiographs are commonly performed low-cost exams for screening and diagnosis. However, radiographs are 2D representations of 3D structures causing considerable clutter impeding visual inspection and automated image analysis. Here, we…
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is predominantly harnessed for spatially mapping activation foci along distributed pathways. However, resolving dynamic information on activation sequence remains elusive. Here, we show an…
We point out numerous inconsistencies and inappropriate statements in M. Miyazaki and H. Hayano, Journal of Radiological Protection 37, 1 (2016).
Unknown electric conductivities of human tissues is a common issue in medical engineering. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an imaging modality that can be used to determine these conductivities in vivo from boundary measurements.…
