The data acquisition system of a new medical imaging system is developed and system performance is presented. The ultimate aim of the system is to image electrical conductivity of biological tissues via contactless measurements. Two different measurement systems are designed based upon measurement of impedance change of an eddy current type sensor. The first design (based upon excitation of a single coil probe) gives 100Hz output frequency change for a conductivity change of 1.9mS/cm and is tested at high frequency (1.4 MHz). Second design (based on one excitation and one receiving coil) operates at low frequency (15KHz) and gives 18 muV change in output voltage for similar conductivity variation. Field images of 30mm diameter cylindrical object were obtained while scanning a region of 225cm(2). The sensitivities of the two systems show a possible wide scale use of these systems for measurement, monitoring and imaging of local conductivity variations in biological tissues.

A smart couch design for improving the quality of life of the patients with cognitive diseases Bi̇li̇şsel rahatsizliklari olan ki̇şi̇ leri̇n yaşam kali̇tesi̇ni̇ artirmak i̇çi̇n akilli bi̇r koltuk tasarimi Ertan, Halil; Alemdar, Hande; Incel, Özlem Durmaz; Ersoy, Cem (2012-07-09) In this paper, we focus on the human activity recognition module of a homecare system that consists of wireless sensors developed for remotely monitoring patients with cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer. To this end, as an initial study, we designed a smart couch that is equipped with accelerometer, vibration and force resistive sensors to monitor how much time people spend while sitting, lying or napping on the couch and to recognize the drifts from their daily routines. In order to distinguish these a...
A DUAL MODALITY IMAGING-SYSTEM FOR IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY WITH ULTRASONICALLY DETERMINED BOUNDARIES IDER, YZ; DORKEN, E; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; KOYMEN, H (1989-11-12) Hardware and software for a dual modality imaging system is developed, and the system is applied to data obtained from phantoms. Static impedance tomographic images of translationally symmetric structures are reconstructed. For this purpose the positions of the electrodes placed around the cross section are determined by the ultrasonic time-of-flight measurements. The contrast resolution of the existing system is found to be 20% and the spatial resolution is about 10% of the average diameter of the cross se...
Implementation of a data acquisition system for contactless conductivity imaging Ulker, B; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2002-09-01) A data acquisition system is realized for conductivity imaging via contactless measurements. It is observed that field profiles are good representatives of the conductive objects scanned by the measurement system. Three different data sets are taken with different scanning resolutions. Note that although the scanning resolution is decreased 25 times, it is still possible to observe the conductive object. The data acquisition time is due to the data acquisition time limit of the lock-in amplifier. As might b...
Temperature estimation using magnetic nanoparticles: a simulation study. Onuker, Gamz; Gençer, Nevzat G..; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) Lately, in biomedical imaging systems, algorithms for providing the temperature data became more important both for diagnosis and for treatment. Aiming to serve this purpose, in this thesis study, it is planned to estimate the temperature data using magnetic nanoparticles; which are actually imaging tracers used in a new medical imaging modality, Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI). Since the introduction of MPI, the effect of temperature changes on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and their magnetic behavior, is ...
Haptic device design Başer, Özgür; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006) Haptic devices are used to provide multi-modal data transfer between haptic users and computers in virtual reality applications. They enable humans to take force and tactile feedback from any virtual or remote objects. Haptic devices also facilitate the use of data collected from a real object in the virtual environment. Usage of the haptic devices increase more and more in industrial, educational and medical applications in parallel with development of virtual reality technology. As virtual reality technol...
