Prof. Emine Ülkü Sarıtaş\n\nTopic: "Magne tic Particle Imaging for Radiation-Free Functional Imaging"\n\nLocation: M iddle East Technical University\, Ankara\, Turkey\n\nAbstract: Magnetic Pa rticle Imaging (MPI) is a new biomedical imaging modality\, first introduc ed in 2005. MPI uses the nonlinear magnetization response of superparamagn etic iron oxide (SPIO) tracers to image their spatial distribution. Becaus e human tissues do not exhibit a similar response\, they are completely tr ansparent in MPI images. This desirable feature makes MPI a very high cont rast tracer imaging modality. Unlike other tracer imaging modalities such as PET\, MPI does not utilize any radioactive tracers of ionizing radiatio n for imaging. Since its first introduction\, MPI has evolved rapidly in t erms of both hardware development and image reconstruction schemes\, and h as found important applications such as angiography\, stem cell imaging\, and cancer imaging. This presentation will introduce the imaging principle s of MPI and its potential functional imaging applications\, in the light of our MPI efforts in National Magnetic Resonance Research Center (UMRAM) of Bilkent University.\n\nBio: Dr. Saritas graduated with B.S. degree in E lectrical and Electronics Engineering from Bilkent University in 2002. She was awarded the Lucent Technologies Stanford Graduate Fellowship for her graduate studies at Stanford University at the Department of Electrical En gineering. There\, she received her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in 2004 and 200 9\, respectively. She then joined the Department of Bioengineering at Univ ersity of California\, Berkeley as a Siebel Stem Cell Institute Postdoctor al Fellow. She has been a faculty member at Bilkent University since Septe mber 2013. She is the recipient of the 2015 "Young Scientist Outstanding A chievement Award" given by TUBA\, the 2016 "Young Scientist Award" (BAGEP) given by Bilim Akademisi\, and the 2019 "Incentive Award" given by TUBITA K. She has also received the Distinguished Teaching Award of Bilkent Unive rsity in 2018. Dr. Saritas is currently serving as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging\, as an Editorial Board Member for t he International Journal on Magnetic Particle Imaging (IJMPI)\, and as the chair of IEEE Turkey Section Women in Engineering (WIE).\n\nSpeaker(s): A sst.
