Monitoring rapid changes in tissue oxygenation with time-domain near-infrared optical tomography
Design protocol and develop software for monitoring rapid changes in tissue oxygenation. The monitoring will be performed in parallel to time-domain optical tomography of the tissue.
We, at Biomedical Optics Research Laboratory (BORL), UZH, have the purpose of saving preterm infants lives developing new near-infrared (NIR) imaging technologies. At the moment BORL is looking for a highly motivated master student, who is ready to face challenges in research and engineering. Together we will further develop
**TIME-DOMAIN NEAR-INFRARED OPTICAL TOMOGRAPHY**
system Pioneer. This system was recently built in BORL for imaging of neonatal brain. Pioneer demonstrated excellent performance on static objects. Our next step will be to prepare the system for tests in clinic, but we are missing a technique to monitor the rapid processes in the tissue. This is what we need you for!
In this project, you will design the protocol of intermediate fast acquisition, integrate it into Pioneer acquisition procedure and test it on blood phantom. You will work with state-of-the-art supercontinuum laser and an in-house designed unique time-of-flight camera.
The project is hosted by Biomedical Optics Research Laboratory (BORL), Dept. of Neonatology, University of Zurich. The lab has an expertise in NIRS and NIROT, including clinical applications. We are an interdisciplinary team with a great spirit that offers you an exciting environment.
Qualifications: Experience in hardware engineering and software development (Matlab, C++), high skills in data processing. Any knowledge on NIRS and FPGA are very welcome.
