Seminar

Electrical Manipulation of Biological Cells: Models and Applications Allen Garner, PhD, PEProfessor, Graduate Program ChairSchool of Nuclear EngineeringPurdue University Electric waveforms, including electric pulses (EPs) and alternating current (AC) fields, such as radiofrequency and high-power microwaves, can induce deleterious or beneficial effects that require additional characterization. We combine thermal models with the Smoluchowski equation to...

Molecular Imaging of the Tumor Microenvironment Marty Pagel, PhDProfessorDepartment of Medical PhysicsDepartment of RadiologyUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison Abstract:Tumor acidosis, hypoxia, and vascular perfusion are well-known characteristics of the tumor microenvironment. We have developed MRI, MR Fingerprinting, PET/MRI, electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI), and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) to quantitatively measure extracellular pH, oxygenation, and pharmacokinetic transport rates...
