Peering into nano-objects-in 3D - Information Centre - Research & Innovation. Materials scientists and micro-technologists often need to view very tiny samples or components. Such checks are important to applications such as electronic miniaturisation. Yet at those scales, conventional tools such as light or electron microscopes just examine the surface. Until now, it has only been possible on large instruments at synchrotron light sources to check the structure of a tiny sample fully and in 3D without destroying it. The EU-funded NanoXCT project devised a breakthrough solution. It overcomes the limitations of conventional imaging techniques, using X-ray computer tomography (XCT). Nano-XCT is like the similarly named medical technique for viewing inside the body, except it works at nano-scales.
The project aimed to develop a compact and affordable scanner, providing three-dimensional interior views of samples with sizes smaller than 1 mm. The NanoXCT system uses X-rays to penetrate a specimen – for example a microchip. Opening doors in materials research. Three tiny grills deliver high contrast X-rays. Mammography scans with lower dose and higher contrast – that’s the declared goal of Dr Nik Hauser, Medical Director of the Women‘s Clinic and Director of the Interdisciplinary Breast Centre at Kantonsspital Baden, Switzerland, and Professor Marco Stampanoni of Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen, Switzerland. Nik Hauser MD By building upon a procedure used in materials research to cull more information from X-rays the added significant value to mammography for breast cancer diagnosis.
When passing through tissue, X-rays are not only absorbed but also refracted and scattered. The researchers used this additional information to generate breast scans with more detail and higher contrast that show even minute tissue changes. ‘While this principle is theoretically suited for any anatomy, it presented itself for breast scans, because of the high proportion of soft tissue in the breast, which means the effects are particularly well visible,’ Dr Hauser explained. PD map. Parkinson’s disease map Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the world. Although many genetic and environmental factors contributing to the risk of PD have been identified, no unique causal mechanism is defined (Wellstead & Cloutier, 2011). PD is a multi-factorial condition of many subtypes with no successful mechanism-related treatments available (Obeso et al., 2010).
As such, it should be regarded from the point of view of systems biomedicine. Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) in the collaboration with the team of Hiroaki Kitano form Systems Biology Institute (SBI), Tokyo are working on development of a disease map of Parkinson’s disease – the PD map. The PD map is a knowledge repository established to describe mechanisms of PD by means of molecular networks to grasp complex relationships between the genetic and environmental risk factors. The map has reached substantial size and complexity. Details. Artreat: A Multiscale Model For Prediction Of Atherosclerosis Progression. An interview with the Coordinator, Prof Oberdan Parodi, will talk us through the project. Prof Parodi, could you please describe in few words what atherosclerosis is? Atherosclerosis is a disease of the arterial blood vessels (arteries), in which the walls of the blood vessels become thickened and hardened by "plaques.
" The plaques are composed of cholesterol and other lipids, inflammatory cells, and calcium deposits. The plaques can slow the flow of blood through the arteries, and if the plaques rupture, the blood flow can become completely obstructed. Atherosclerosis can be easily confused with arteriosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis is a general term describing any hardening (and loss of elasticity) of medium or large arteries, while atherosclerosis is a hardening of an artery specifically due to an atheromatous plaque. What is the main goals ARTreat focused on? ARTreat aimed to develop a multiscale and predictive model, which integrates: Maxwell: The Anatomical Head Phantom » Daniel Stough | ENGINEER. Introduction To start off, I should answer some of the questions that you are most likely asking yourself after having read the box above: Q: What the heck is a phantom?
A: A phantom is a bottle of fluid used to perform testing on an MRI scanner. The fluid can be a number of different solutions, based on the desired effect and test parameters. Q: Why do you need a phantom? Q: Why is this phantom so special? Hopefully you now understand the motivations of the project: I didn’t want to be a lab rat and I didn’t think anyone should have to be one either. There are other groups that are working on similar projects, like adding several different compartments for different tissues in the head. Look at my MRI Primer [FORTHCOMING], that gives a short background about my research in the Bioengineering Department at Pitt, for more information.
