Purpose: Conventional MRI is relying on the assumption of the magnetic field being homogeneous in direction and amplitude. However, with the growing interest in portable, affordable point-of-care MRI systems, these assumptions do not…
We present a fast field-cycling NMR relaxometer with added magnetic resonance imaging capabilities. The instrument operates at a maximum proton Larmor frequency of 5 MHz for a sample volume of 35 mL. The magnetic field homogeneity across…
Viscosity measurements in combination with pulsed magnetic fields are developed by use of a quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM). When the QCM is immersed in liquid, the resonant frequency, $f_0$, and the quality factor, $Q$, of the QCM change…
Understanding mechanisms for energy dissipation from nanoparticles in contact with large samples is a central problem in describing friction microscopically. Calculation of the reduced density matrix appears to be the most suitable metho to…
Many processes in microfluidics and biology are driven or affected by viscosity. While several methods are able to measure this parameter globally (AFM, surface acoustic waves, DLS, ...), very few can provide high resolution viscosity…
We present a new uncertainty estimation method for Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), that uses the correlation plane as a model for the probability density function (PDF) of displacements and calculates the second order moment of the…
Digital analysis of mammographic images is a complementary tool to clinical evaluation, commonly used to identify tumors and/or microcalcifications in mammograms. Recent mammographic equipment, can automatically classify them using this…
The curvature of biological membranes at the nanometer scale is critically important for vesicle trafficking, organelle morphology, and disease propagation. This manuscript reports the development of Polarized Localization Microscopy (PLM),…
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used for screening, diagnosis, image-guided therapy, and scientific research. A significant advantage of MRI over other imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and nuclear imaging is…
Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) utilizes MRI signal phase to infer estimates of local tissue magnetism (magnetic susceptibility), which has been shown useful to provide novel image contrast and as biomarkers of abnormal tissue.…
Dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast-enhanced (DSC) MRI or perfusion-MRI plays an important role in the non-invasive assessment of tumor vascularity. However, the large number of images provided by the method makes display and…
Various imaging modalities allow for time-dependent image reconstructions from measurements where its acquisition also has a time-dependent nature. Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) falls into this class of imaging modalities and it thus also…
Nanoscale magnetic resonance imaging (NanoMRI) is an active area of applied research with potential use in structural biology and quantum engineering. The success of this technological vision hinges on improving the instrument's sensitivity…
Magnetic nanoparticle-based hyperthermia has emerged as a promising therapeutic modality for treating malignant solid tumors that exhibit resistance to conventional cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation. Despite the…
This is an unabridged version of a journal manuscript that has been submitted for publication [1]. (Due to length restrictions, we were forced to remove substantial amounts of content from the version that was submitted to the journal,…
We analyse mathematically the imaging modality using electromagnetic nanoparticles as contrast agent. This method uses the electromagnetic fields, collected before and after injecting electromagnetic nanoparticles, to reconstruct the…
Magnetic and NMR relaxivity properties of {\gamma}-Fe2O3 nanoparticles embedded into the walls of polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules and freely dispersed in a sodium borate buffer solution have been investigated. The different geometric…
Synthetic aperture imaging has enabled breakthrough observations from radar to astronomy. However, optical implementation remains challenging due to stringent wavefield synchronization requirements among multiple receivers. Here we present…
We describe an experiment involving a mass oscillating in a viscous fluid and analyze viscous damping of harmonic motion. The mechanical oscillator is tracked using a simple webcam and an image processing algorithm records the position of…
In the recent years, we witness a great interest in imaging, in a wide sense, using contrast agents. One of the reasons is that many imaging modalities, as the ones related to medical sciences, suffer from several shortcomings. The most…
