Conventional thermometers fail to operate in a variety of medical procedures due to the harsh and sensitive environments required for such applications, and therefore, the development of optical fiber thermometers has gained significant attention. In this study, a ZnO-SrAl2O4:Eu (ZnO-SAO:Eu) nanocomposite has been synthesized by using a CO2 laser, which showed enhanced optical properties and a dynamic range in comparison with the crystalline ones. XRD, EDAX, SEM, and PL spectroscopy investigated the crystalline and optical properties of precursors, and the final nanostructure, and the findings were in agreement with references. Further analysis of the PL spectra in a 0-100 degrees C range suggests that the optical properties of the ZnO-SAO:Eu nanocomposite show a linear behavior toward temperature alterations. Considering this inter-relation and measuring the decay time for various frequencies helped us calibrate the temperature based on phase angle shift alterations. The curve obtained at 30 Hz frequency exhibits the highest linearity and accuracy (0.33%) due to its relatively high phase shift (60 degrees C) in the studied temperature range. The fabricated sensor exhibited great sensitivity and repeatability while maintaining an unprecedented structure. Finally, the thermometer's applicability for future industries was tested by measuring the interior temperature of a dead muscle tissue as it was being heated by a diode laser and it was accompanied by remarkable results. This achievement could make this device a promising addition to the drug delivery science and industry as it could aid the study and optimization of medications that increase the targeted tissues temperature and therefore can be employed in treating tumors that are formed in organic tissues.

Induced Current Thermal Imaging in Breast Cancer Detection Tanriverdi, Volkan; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2021-01-01) Infrared thermal imaging method has started to be used in routine controls due to the disadvantages (uses ionizing energy, applies pressure) of mammography, which is frequently used in the diagnosis of breast cancer. With passive thermography, infrared radiation emitted naturally from the body surface is detected by a thermal camera and the surface temperature distribution is displayed. Using a passive thermal imaging system with 30 mK thermal sensitivity, 10 mm tumor can be detected at a depth of 12 mm. Th...
Zn-doped hydroxyapatite in biomedical applications Uysal, Idil; Yilmaz, Bengi; Evis, Zafer (2021-03-01) Hydroxyapatite, (Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2)), is a ceramic material similar to the inorganic part of the bone and can be synthesized in a laboratory environment with different methods. The structure of HA enables ionic substitutions that change its characteristics especially in terms of biological, antibacterial, and mechanical properties. Among the ions doped into HA structure, zinc (Zn), an essential trace element in the body, is also an important dopant for biomedical applications due to its positive effect on...
Deep Learning-Based Fiber Bending Recognition for Sensor Applications Bender, Deniz; Cakir, Ugur; Yüce, Emre (2023-01-01) The sensitivity of multimode fibers (MMFs) to mechanical deformations has led to their widespread use in various fields, such as structural monitoring and healthcare. However, traditional optical fiber sensing techniques often involve complex equipment and analysis procedures. In this work, we demonstrate the use of Deep Learning (DL) to accurately detect both the curvature and location of a bent MMF under external force. The DL model is trained using intensity-only speckle images as input, which correspond...
Biodegradable poly (ester-urethane) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering Kızıltay, Aysel; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Biotechnology (2011) During last decade, polyurethanes (PUs) which are able to degrade into harmless molecules upon implantation have received a significant level of attention as a biomaterial in tissue engineering applications. Many studies are focused especially on development of PUs based on amino acid derivatives; however, there are only few applications of amino acid based PUs in tissue engineering. In this study, a biocompatible and biodegradable thermoplastic poly(ester-urethane) (PEU) based on L-lysine diisocyanate (LDI...
Phantom and Solenoid Coil Development for Induced Current Electro-Thermal Imaging Akim Induklemeli Electro-Termal Göruntuleme Için Fantom ve Selenoid Bobin Yapimi Tanriverdi, Volkan; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2021-01-01) © 2021 IEEE.Tumorous tissues generate more metabolic heat than healthy tissues, in case where the tumor tissue is close to the surface, it is possible to detect the tumor with thermal infrared imaging methods. Deeper tumors can be imaged by increasing the temperature of the tumorous tissue by the externally applied magnetic field. In the simulation study, breast and cancerous tissue were modeled in three dimensions by using realistic values of the tissues. Current was induced with a solenoid coil and temper...
