Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

This presentation will delve into the latest advancements in X-ray imaging techniques and technologies, with a focus on cutting-edge hardware developments. Key topics will include X-ray computed tomography (CT), X-ray tomosynthesis, multi-energy X-ray imaging, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and real-time X-ray imaging for interventional procedures. The discussion will then shift to...

Angioplasty is an interventional procedure for blood vessel stenosis where a catheter is navigated to the obstruction under fluoroscopy to place a permanent wire stent on the blockage to force it open. Clear stent visualization is critical to ensure a stent has not collapsed or fractured, which could lead to re-stenosis and even more severe complications. Overlapping anatomic structures make...

Zinc and selenium are essential elements that are necessary for a human’s health. Researchers have found that deficiencies in these elements can significantly affect the human body. In this study, I analyzed nail clippings from mothers and their infants from New Zealand to observe zinc and selenium concentration levels over the first year postpartum. Several biomarkers, including nails, were...

4383. (G*) An Enhanced Nickel Opto-Magnetic Interference Sensor (ENOMIS) for Time-Resolved Magnetic Field Measurements of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Coils

A magnetometer that has a high temporal (≤1 ns) and a high spatial (≤1 mm) resolution, a large magnetic field range (0–0.5 T), and that does not perturb the magnetic field requires an innovative and unprecedented design. Such a magnetometer is key, for example, to measure magnetic fields produced by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coils used to neuromodulate the brain in the treatment...
