Research activity description

Extensive experience has been gathered in developing hyperthermia systems including the development of novel new type applicators, heating equipment and thermometry systems. Design and development of data acquisition systems to acquire and analyse brain charge imaging system. Design of new low field nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy systems. Application of Neural Network Theory in explaining brain functions. Ultrasound and biological tissue interaction. Ultrasound Technology. Laser Technology and interactions with biological tissues. Bioelectrorheology. Medical information systems-lmage processing. Interaction of electromagnetic radiation with biological tissues. Spectroscopy of biomolecules and tissue. Optical Properties of cells and tissues scattering studies. Permeability studies of membranes-electrical properties. Shock waves effects on biological systems. Development of diagnostic methods of atherosclerosis. We are also working on developing the appropriate computer data structures to describe and store macromolecular structures (proteins, DNA) dynamically, as well as the corresponding library functions to manipulate and display these structures graphically on the computer. Algorithms are built in order to estimate forces involved in the 3-D structure of a macromolecule. Finally discrete methods are used to estimate the electric effects of EM fields on the human body.
