Photoacoustic/Ultrasound Mammoscopy for evaluating screening-detected abnormalities in the breast (PAMMOTH)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

X-ray mammography is the mainstay of breast cancer screening programs. It is estimated that between 20 - 50% of abnormal screening mammograms will prove to be negative. The paradigm in diagnosis is to establish whether a lesion is benign or malignant. All the imaging techniques conventionally used today – diagnostic x-ray, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging have many limitations, leadi ...

Multimodal, Functional Bio-Photonic Imaging (FBI)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2020,

FBI fosters education of ESRs on an emerging, multimodal imaging platform and its translation into clinical and biological applications. In FBI, 15 ESRs are trained at world-leading European academic institutions and companies, thus forming strong interdisciplinary relations between industry, technical sciences and clinical end-users.Optical imaging has huge potential to address unmet clinical nee ...

Hub of Application Laboratories for Equipment Assessment in Laser Based Manufacturing (APPOLO)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

During more than 50 years of the laser existence, they have been proved as the unique tool for diverse material processing application. New application ideas, coming from universities and research institutions, are usually implemented by spin-off companies with limited resources for market penetration. Research laboratories are using universal laser tools, while effective and low-cost production r ...

Diagnosis and Monitoring of Inflammatory and Arthritic diseases using a COmbined approach Based on Ultrasound, optoacoustic and hyperSpectral imaging (IACOBUS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriasis arthritis (PSA) are destructive polyarthritic diseases having high incidence rates worldwide of about 1,5% and 0,5% respectively. Arthritis-related joint destruction leads to disabilities which result in a loss of patient’s quality of life, often include an inability to work and significant costs for healthcare systems. The functional outcome is strongly dep ...

LASER INDUCED SYNTHESIS OF POLYMERIC NANOCOMPOSITE MATERIALS AND DEVELOPMENT OF MICRO-PATTERNED HYBRID LIGHT EMITTING DIODES (LED) AND TRANSISTORS (LET) (LAMP)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,

The project described in this proposal aims at developing a new methodology to obtain semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) regioselectively in a polymeric matrix by means of a heating probe (laser). This new method is designed to produce light emitting devices (LED/T) based on semiconductor/polymer nanocomposite emission without using lithographic processes.This type of effect is possible because, aft ...

OPTICAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF EXPLOSIVES (OPTIX)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

"Terrorism is a real and growing threat to Europe and the world, and more than 60% of the terrorist attacks are carried out by the use of Improvised Explosive Devices. Security forces demand new tools to fight against this threat and the industry is making a big effort in the last few years to provide such tools. Every year a number of new products to detect and identify concealed explosives reac ...
