Investigators: Ladislav Valkovič, Ivan Frollo   Alterations in cardiac metabolism are indicative of several diseases. Current data acquisition methods of phosphorus MR spectroscopy (31P-MRS) are even at 7T systems too slow to allow investigations of dynamicchanges or measurements under stress. Therefore, we have developed a new method of spectraspatial encoding, which substitutes typical Cartesian sampling with…

Investigators: Michal Teplan, Hoang Vu Viet In the area of ​​the effect of pulsed electric fields (PEF) on sub-cellular structures, we investigated the manipulation of microtubules (MT) using PEF. In cooperation with ÚFE AVČR, we created new statistical measures for measuring MT movement for images from the “single molecule TIRF” microscope, which we called “microtubule…

Investigators: Lehocki F., Tyšler M., Gogola D., Bagín R., Madevska Bogdanova A., Koteska B., Spasenović M., Vićentić, T. et al. As part of the NATO project, sensors were designed and methods were developed for monitoring the vital functions of mass casualty victims using a wearable system. The proposed resistive sensors based on laser-deposited graphene layers…

Institute of Measurement of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in 2021 actively participated in the solution of two European COST projects focused on multimodal and correlated imaging methods. The project COST CA16101 “Multi-modal imaging of forensic science records – tools for forensic science (MULTI-FORESEE)” was focused on multimodal imaging in the field of forensic science…

Investigators: Michal Teplan, Martin Bereta Oxidative metabolism is a process that occurs in organisms during their physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Monitoring biological oxidation processes caused by chemical or physical stimuli is currently extremely important due to the environmental burden of various physicochemical factors. Existing techniques usually require the addition of chemical markers or illumination, which,…

Investigators: Ladislav Valkovič, Ivan Frollo Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an organic compound that provides energy to drive all processes in living cells, such as: muscle contraction or nerve impulse propagation. Phosphorus saturation-transfer experiments can be used to quantify metabolic fluxes of ATP noninvasively. Typically, only the forward ATP synthesis flux through the creatine kinase reaction…

Investigators: Bear L.R., Serinagaoglu Dogrusoz Y., Good W., Svehlikova J., Coll_Font J., van Dam E., MacLeod R. Within the consortium for electrocardiographic imaging, we investigated the effect of processing measured ECG signals on the chest surface on the inverse reconstruction of epicardial potentials and activation maps on the heart. Data were obtained from 4 animal…

Investigator: M. Majerová   Aluminous glasses are interesting in terms of their basic structure. Alumina glasses have excellent mechanical properties, excellent corrosion resistance, show better light and heat resistance and better light conductivity than conventional silicate glasses. Another important feature of these glasses is that they are permeable to ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiation and…

Investigator: Szomolányi, P. Many factors influence the increase in signal intensity provided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast media. Purpose: To assess the impact of different gadolinium concentrations and dilutions of three macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agents. The test tubes were positioned in a rack in a silicon oil bath to maintain the temperature at 370C…

Investigator: M. Hain The Institute of Measurement of the Slovak Academy of Sciences was in 2020 as part of two European COST projects focusing on multimodal and correlated imaging methods. The first of them is focused on multimodal imaging in the field of forensic science – project COST CA16101 “Multi-modal imaging of forensic science evidence…
