Care & Cure Science Café
2022-01-14 15:00 - 16:00
On the 14th of Januari, from 15:00 until 16:00, the next Care & Cure Science Café will be held!
C3Te has invited Dr. Irena Zivkovic to talk about “Ultra-High Field MRI – How high can we go?”
Irena Zivkovic – Integrated Circuits (IC) and Electromagnetics (EM) group of Electrical Engineering.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most versatile medical imaging platform that provides superior soft tissue contrast for both body and brain imaging. It has become a favorite tool in the research settings, especially within neuroscience, because it can map not only the anatomy but also neuronal activation and function without the use of radiation. Scientists have worked on increasing the sensitivity of MRI, image contrast and spatial resolution. One obvious way to increase resolution is to increase the spin polarization via increasing the static magnetic field B0 in MRI. However, a consequence of a larger static magnetic field B0 is a higher Larmor frequency and a shorter wavelength. This increased frequency complicates RF electronics and detector design and therefore the technology developed for lower fields such as 3 Tesla is difficult to adapt and transfer directly to the ultra-high field 7 Tesla. This talk will discuss some of my recent developments of the RF technology that allowed high-resolution high-SNR ultra-high field imaging at 7T. I will also present my contributions to the B0 field shimming at 9.4T MRI.
Due to the Corona situation the Care & Cure Science Café will be in the form of a webinar (participants will receive the MS Teams link on the day of the webinar).

We want you!
2021-07-04
We are looking for new board members! Are you interested in connecting with lots of different companies, organizations, and interesting individuals in the medical technology sector? Do you want to get better at organizing events? Or are you just fascinated by finances? You can learn these skills, and so many more, by doing a board year with us!
A board year at Eir is part-time, this means there’s a lot of flexibility. On average you will spend 4 hours a week on board-related tasks. These tasks can be anything, but all come down to making our association the best it can be!
If you’re interested in hearing more about this, please subscribe below! We’ll organize an info-lunch for those interested. If you’d like more details beforehand, please send us an e-mail or contact one of the board members individually!

Care & Cure Science Café
2021-05-28 15:00 - 16:00
On the 28th of May, from 15:00 until 16:00, the next Care & Cure Science Café will be held!
C3Te has invited Dr. Ana Sobota to talk about “Plasma and its applications in the medical field”
Plasma is the 4th state of matter. Most of the known universe is in the plasma state, plasma is used in many of the crucial industrial processes today, but it can also be used in medicine. To develop the medical applications expertise in a wide range of disciplines is necessary, from (plasma) physics all the way to clinicians. My focus is on the plasma physics aspects. I research atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasmas and how they interact with different targets. This is crucial for the understanding of how plasmas affect (living) tissue and for developing a successful application in medicine.
Due to the Corona situation the Care & Cure Science Café will be in the form of a webinar (participants will receive the MS Teams link on the day of the webinar).

Care and Cure Innovation Lecture - by Ad Reniers and Huib Visser
2021-05-21 12:30 - 13:30 | Flux 1.02, Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands
We have arranged for Ad Reniers and Huib Visser, two staff members from the Electromagnetics group of the EE department, to give a lecture about their Care & Cure projects that are happening at the university. This presentation will give you an indication of what kind of projects the university can offer for internships or graduation projects, but is also great to give more insight into the Care & Cure field in general!
The lecture will be held during the lunch break (12:30-13:30) on the 21st of May in Flux 1.02. Besides that, the lecture will be streamed via MS Teams. Are you interested in this lecture, subscribe now!

Lunch Lecture Neways - Challenges to be solved in Medical Hardware Engineering
2021-05-04 12:30 - 13:30
On the 4th of May during the break, from 12h30 until 13h30, Neways will host a lunch lecture to tell you everything about their company. The lecture will take place via MS Teams.
Neways Technologies solves customer challenges in a number of industry domains, specifically also in medical devices. They make available embedded systems designs to customers, thereby enabling their customers to deliver great value and innovative solutions to the market. Together with their customers they are striving for serving patients with the best healthcare.
In hardware engineering for embedded systems in medical applications several aspects are special compared to hardware engineering in general. There are a number of challenges to be solved besides the tasks that generic domain hardware engineering provides. The spectrum ranges from pure documentary work due to regulatory reasons to functional safety. After all, the main challenge one faces in medical hardware engineering is single fault condition safety, whereas the medical device shall remain single fault safe after the single fault condition.
By example those and several other typical medical domain challenges are shown and how these can be solved.
As a special example the so called CellVAS therapy device will serve.
This device enables treatment of e.g. autoimmune diseases by applying very low current of very specific frequency characteristic on the patients skin.

European Training Network on Electromagnetic Risks in Medical Technology (ETERNITY)
Anne Roc’h, Electrical Energy Systems (EES) group.
ETERNITY will create a long-lasting multidisciplinary, academic-industrial network for doctoral training, with leading European industries and academia, to achieve a breakthrough in the design of innovative medical equipment where the risk of EMI has been managed at its core: with wearables, with on-board platforms and with collaborative care systems for hospitals. ETERNITY is about including the risk management of EMI in the design of innovative, electronic medical equipment. This shift is both urgently needed and mandatory.
The key targets of ETERNITY are:

Scientific: to propose and master solutions to the scientific challenges of the inclusion of EMI risks into the electronic design of medical equipment (ranging from wearables with biosensors to complex systems of systems).
Training: to steer a dedicated group of young European pioneers towards leading positions in the highly innovative field of electronic designs for medical technology.
Industry-academia network: to build a direct international transfer path, involving people and technology, between leading European universities and industries across all sectors of the medical technology market.
Society: to enable safe and reliable medical equipment and innovation, in our modern environments: in medical institutions, at home and while being on the move.

Prostate cancer localization by ultrasound imaging of angiogenesis
Massimo Mischi, Biomedical Diagnostics Lab (BM/d) of Signal Processing Systems (SPS) group.
One in 7 men is diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. Yet, current management of the disease is far from optimal. This can mainly be ascribed to the limits of the available imaging technology, such that current diagnostics of prostate cancer is still based on systematic biopsies. We have invested more than 10 years of research in the development of novel ultrasound solutions to image cancer angiogenesis and localize prostate cancer. In my talk, I will present the journey through our technological advances as well as the route towards valorisation and clinical translation of our scientific output.
