Prof. Emine Ülkü Sarıtaş\, Bilkent Universit y\n\nTopic: "Magnetic Particle Imaging: Applications and Magnetic Field Sa fety Limits"\n\nLocation: Middle East Technical University\, Ankara\, Turk ey\n\nAbstract: Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a new biomedical imagin g modality\, first introduced in 2005. MPI uses the nonlinear magnetizatio n response of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) tracers to image their s patial distribution. Because human tissue does not exhibit a similar respo nse\, it is completely transparent in MPI images. This desirable feature m akes MPI a very high contrast tracer imaging modality. Since its first int roduction\, MPI has evolved rapidly in terms of both hardware development and image reconstruction schemes\, and has found important applications su ch as angiography\, stem cell imaging\, and cancer imaging. The first part of this presentation will introduce the imaging principles of MPI and its potential applications\, in the light of our MPI efforts in National Magn etic Resonance Research Center (UMRAM) of Bilkent University.\n\nMPI utili zes low-range RF frequencies (e.g.\, 10-150 kHz) for imaging. The magnetic field amplitudes\, and thereby the imaging speed\, are restricted by huma n peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) thresholds. The second part of this t alk will focus on these safety concerns and will present the results of ou r extensive human-subject experiments.\n\nBio: Dr. Saritas graduated with B.S. degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bilkent Univers ity in 2002. She was awarded the Lucent Technologies Stanford Graduate Fel lowship for her graduate studies at Stanford University\, at the Departmen t of Electrical Engineering. There\, she received her M.S. and Ph.D. degre es in 2004 and 2009\, respectively. She then joined the Department of Bioe ngineering at University of California Berkeley\, as a Siebel Stem Cell In stitute Postdoctoral Fellow. Dr. Saritas has joined Bilkent University in September 2013. She is the recipient of the 2015 “Young Scientist Outsta nding Achievement Award” (GEBIP) given by the Turkish Academy of Science s (TÜBA)\, the 2016 “Young Scientist Award” (BAGEP) given by the Scie nce Academy (Bilim Akademisi). Dr. Saritas is currently serving as an Asso ciate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging\, and as an Editoria l Board Member for Nature Scientific Reports.\n\nSpeaker(s): Asst.
