Hybrid optical and optoacoustic endoscope for esophageal tracking. (ESOTRAC)
Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,
More than 450.000 people are diagnosed with esophageal cancer (EC) each-year worldwide and approximately 400.000 die from the disease. Esophageal cancer is the eighth most commonly diagnosed cancer, but it is the sixth leading cause of cancer-related death, with incidence rates steeply rising. Risk factors, including gastroesophageal reflux disease and Barrett’s esophagus, may diagnostically impli ...

Tissue engineering of the right heart outflow tract by a biofunctionalized bioresorbable polymeric valved tube (TEH-TUBE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
Approximately 42% of infants’ mortality in the world is related to congenital heart defects (prevalence: 8-12/1000 births). Over 1/3 require the reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) by surgical procedures which currently use inert materials without any growth potential. Consequently, multiple reoperations are often required, with their attendant high risk of mortality and m ...

Breast biopsy system guided by Positron Emission Mammography allowing real-time 3D visualization of tumour lesion and needle insertion guidance for higher sampling accuracy and efficiency (MAMMOCARE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women and one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality and early diagnosis is essential to reduce the risk of mortality. First diagnostic tool is clinical imaging (mainly Mammography and Ultrasound) but suspicious findings usually require a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis; 2% of women who undergo a screening mammogram will require some type ...

Piezo Pair Materials for the Selective Exclusion of Workplace Noise (PiezoSelEx)
Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
The problem of Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) in the work place is a problem for SMEs and European workers, particularly in the manufacturing and transport sectors. NIHL results in reduced productivity from lost work days, insurance claims and potential early retirement. Current EU legislation requires employers to provide suitable ear protection for workers exposed to high levels of noise, but ...
