In this research, electroplated magnetically isotropic and anisotropic soft alloys and screen-printed soft ferrites applicable to micromachined micromagnetic devices are fabricated and characterized using in situ measurement techniques. Appropriate magnetic materials and deposition methods, such as electroplating and screen-printing techniques, are examined and material test structures are fabr...

BACKGROUND No single imaging approach is ideal for every tumor. While radiography can be effective for diagnosis of specific tumors, additional imaging is often required. Soft tissue sarcomas require a multimodality approach. METHODS The authors discuss the general imaging approaches for patients who present with soft tissue masses, the fundamental principles inherent to tumor imaging, and th...

Flexible catheters are used in a wide variety of surgical interventions including neurological, pancreatic and cardiovascular. In many cases lack dexterity miniaturization along with excessive stiffness results large regions the anatomy being deemed inaccessible. Soft continuum robots have potential to mitigate these issues. Due its enormous for miniaturization, magnetic actuation is particular...

Bimodal imaging combines two imaging modalities in order to benefit from their advantages and compensate the limitations of each modality. This technique could accurately detect diseases for diagnostic purposes. Nanoparticles simultaneously offer diagnostic data via various imaging modalities owing to their unique properties. Moreover, bimodal nanoprobes could be incorporated into theranostic s...
