Visible to the public A Cyber-Physical Framework for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Guided Magnetic NanoParticles

Abstract:

The goal of this project is to study the fundamental principles (dynamics and control) in using clinical magnetic techniques for accurately guiding agglomerations of magnetic nanoparticles in targeted drug delivery. The innovative technology component of this study is the dual use of the magnetic techniques as an imaging modality for both diagnostics and feedback control signal purposes and as a propulsion modality that generates the control forces to accurately guide agglomerations of magnetic nanoparticles.

Abstract:

Human motion-capture and computational analysis tools have played a significant role in a variety of product-design and ergonomics settings for over a quarter-century. In moving beyond traditional kinematic (and its dual-static) settings, advances in biomechanics and multibody dynamics have led up to computational analysis tools that can provide significant insights into the functional performance.
