Plenary Lecture

Integration of Ultrasound Transducers in a Needle for

Intraoperative Guidance

Prof. Sandy Cochran and Dr Rachael McPhillips Medical and Industrial Ultrasonics, School of Engineering,

University of Glasgow, Glasgow, G12 8QQ, UK Tel: +44 141 330 3317 email: [email protected]

ABSTRACT Microultrasound is a real-time imaging modality which can resolve features <200 µm using frequencies of 15 MHz and above. Imaging depth is limited by attenuation but this can be overcome by incorporating miniature transducers within a needle. The field of view from the tip or side of the needle has potential in applications such as intraoperative guidance and in vivo pathology. This paper outlines approaches to integrate individual ultrasonic transducers within a needle, including challenges in fabrication, interconnects and packaging. Results are presented from ultrasonic motion-mode measurements after insertion of prototype devices into porcine brain tissue into which a tumour mimic had been inserted. Magnetic resonance images are provided for validation. Individual transducers may have clinical uses but are likely to be superseded by transducer arrays. The research needed to achieve this is discussed.

Phase retrieval based on quadrant binary phase plate

Dr. Shuai Wang Institute of Optics and Electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chengdu Tel: +86 28

85100686 email: [email protected]

ABSTRACT

This talk will present our latest research progress on phase retrieval, a kind of wavefront sensing technology. Phase retrieval is a simple and concise way of reconstructing wavefront, especially the method based on single far field formed by just a lens. However, for the symmetry of common aberrations, light with different wavefront could form the same far-field intensity distribution. In other words, conventional phase retrieval algorithms based on single far field suffer in the multi-solution problem. We propose a kind of wavefront reconstruction method based on quadrant binary phase plate. Incident light is modulated by a first-order Modified-Walsh-function pattern quadrant binary phase mask. Simulation and experiment show that with the special phase modulation our method can retrieve random wavefront distributions accurately. It provides a practical technical solution for precise laser-phase retrieval with just one far-field image.

The role of Sensing, Inference & Control theory in HCI

Professor Roderick Murray-Smith School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow

Tel: +44 141 330 4984 email: [email protected]

ABSTRACT The opportunities for interaction with computer systems are rapidly expanding beyond traditional input and output paradigms: full-body motion sensors, brain-computer interfaces, 3D displays, touch panels are now commonplace commercial items. The profusion of new sensing devices for human input and the new display channels which are becoming available offer the potential to create more involving, expressive and efficient interactions in a much wider range of contexts. Dealing with these complex sources of human intention requires appropriate mathematical methods; modelling and analysis of interactions requires sophisticated methods which can transform streams of data from complex sensors into estimates of human intention. This talk will focus on the use of inference and dynamical modelling in human-computer interaction. The combination of modern statistical inference and real-time closed loop modelling offers rich possibilities in building interactive systems, but there is a significant gap between the techniques commonly used in HCI and the mathematical tools available in other fields of computing science. I will illustrate how to bring these mathematical tools to bear on interaction problems, and will cover basic theory and example applications.

The James Watt Nanofabrication Centre (JWNC)

Professor Nikolaj Gadegaard

School of Engineering, University of Glasgow Tel: +441413305243 email: [email protected]

BIOGRAPHY

Professor Nikolaj Gadegaard is working at the exciting interdisciplinary interface between Engineering and Life Sciences with the aim to develop smarter materials for biological applications. He was inspired to join the University and establish a career in this field following the original work at the University by Professor Adam Curtis and the late Professor Chris Wilkinson. All manmade materials have surface texture or topography as a deliberate or inadvertent result of the manufacturing process, and today it is well accepted that this influences biological systems both in vivo and in vitro. Professor Gadegaard’s goal is to understand how these

interfaces can specifically be engineered for a desired application. This aim is made possible through the University’s world-leading clean room facility, the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre. Here Professor Gadegaard takes advantage of the ability to control patterns and shapes on a length scale comparable to proteins. In this quest he has recently been awarded an ERC Consolidator Award to understand the design rules for surface topography and its effect on cells. This provides funding to establish super-resolution microscopy to study the molecular dynamics at the engineered interfaces and correlate this to cellular function. The nanoscale engineering platform used by professor Gadegaard shares the same processes currently used in the manufacture of optical and semiconductor electronic devices. This provides a direct route to translate the findings to medical products or devices. This activity forms an equally important part of his activity within the School of Engineering.

ABSTRACT

GaAs based quantum dot (QD) lasers are now a commercial offering for applications such as data communications, materials processing, and sensing. Transmission electron microscopy provides details of the shape and compositional distribution of the QDs showing an anisotropic shape in two (110) directions. We simulate the density of states (DoS) of the QD ensemble based upon these size distributions and show a good agreement with spectroscopy. At the talk, we will explore how the size anisotropy may be controlled, and discuss the implications for this QD size distribution on the operation of lasers, modulators, amplifiers and super-luminescent diodes.
