Kalman Filtered MR Temperature Imaging for Laser Induced Thermal Therapies

Feasibility Study of Multi-application, Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes for Magnetic Resonance Temperature Imaging Guided Laser Induced Thermal Therapy

Laser-Induced Fluorescence Imaging

Fluorescence imaging is a tool of increasing importance in aerodynamics, fluid flow visualization, and nondestructive evaluation in a variety of industrial circumstances. It is a means for producing two-dimensional images of real surfaces or fluid case-sectional areas that correspond to data on properties such as temperature or pressure across the surfaces. This article discusses three major fl...

Instantaneous temperature imaging by planar laser-induced fluorescence. Effect of high laser irradiance

The temperature dependence of the fluorescence emission of certain organic dyes is utilized for measuring the temperature in liquid flows. Measurements are generally based on the assumptions that: the fluorescence signal is proportional to the intensity of the laser excitation, and the temperature sensitivity of the dye is not affected by the laser irradiance. These assumptions allow justifying...

Current Trends in Mathematical Modeling of High-Temperature Thermal Therapies

We are delighted to present this special issue of The Open Biomedical Engineering (TOBEJ) focused on the current trends in mathematical modeling of high-temperature thermal therapies (ablation therapies). Clinical application and research of these therapies has seen rapid growth in the last decade, particularly for applications of cardiac arrhythmia (cardiac catheter ablation) and cancer treatm...

Super-resolution for real-time volumetric MR temperature imaging

Recently, real time magnetic resonance (MR) thermometry has evolved into the method of choice for the guidance of non-invasive ablation modalities such as highintensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). For this role MR-thermometry should preferably have a high temporal and spatial resolution and allow observing the temperature over the entire target area with a high precision. This is in practice dif...
