Development of a Method for Visualizing and Quantifying Thrombus Formation in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenators

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-support technology used for patients with cardiac and respiratory failure. Although ECMO plays a crucial role in clinical practice, its use is accompanied by significant risks of medical device-associated thrombosis. Thrombosis not only obstructs blood flow in the oxygenator but also reduces gas ...

Artificial Intelligence in Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Academic Background Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced non-invasive imaging technique that provides detailed molecular information about living tissues. CEST MRI works by selectively saturating exchangeable protons of specific metabolites and transferring this saturation to water molecules, ...
