Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is a powerful tool to map brain activity non-invasively. Over the past 25 years, fMRI has become widely used in neuroscience research and is the foundation of tens of thousands of published studies. However, fMRI does not measure neurons directly. Instead, in the most common form of fMRI called Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD), changes in the...

2573. Analysis of Plasmonic and Plasma Assisted Photoacoustic Response from Metallic Nanostructures Irradiated by Fast and Ultrafast Laser

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Nanotechnology is rapidly developing as an enabling technology for introducing new highly performant theragnostic tools for biomedical applications. Recently, plasmonic nanostructures (PNs) have shown a great potential for providing an effective method in this field of research and applications. PNs present very peculiar optical properties related to the presence of a large optical absorption...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Detection of inflammation and classification of pathological lesions, for example in the oral diseases and cancer applications, has typically be restricted to expensive imaging modalities such as X-rays which suffer from poor spatial resolution and lack functional information for early diagnostics. Other traditional imaging such as computed tomography (CT) cannot be used during treatment or...
