‘The Center for Tomography Research Laboratory (CTECH Labs) introduced the latest technology in brain scanning’
This was at the 6th International IEEE Engineering in Medicine
and Biology Society Conference on Neural Engineering at the Sheraton Hotel, San
Diego, CA on November 7th at 3:00 PM PST, where Connectikpeople has
observed that:
·
The Electrical Capacitance
Volume Tomography (or the ECVT) is billed as the first developed by CTECH Labs
to enable 4D brain activity scanning,
·
The technology offers
low-cost, radiation-free, instantaneous detection of abnormalities in the brain
caused by tumors, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s Disease, and other brain dysfunctions,
·
The ECVT sensor system
measures the electrical signals of the brain and generates a volumetric map of
brain activity, based on a Neural-Network Multi-criteria Optimization Image
Reconstruction Technique (NN-MOIRT),
·
The ECVT is able to detect brain tumors by
examining brain functional abnormalities, as the tumors block the propagation
of neuro-signals and cause abnormalities in the brain activity image,
·
The ECVT sensor design has been optimized for
the detection of brain tumors in different sensitivity regions of the brain.
For those who unfamiliar, the ECVT was developed in 2004 by Dr. Warsito
Purwo Taruno, founder and director of CTECH Labs in collaboration with Ohio
State University.’In the United States, the ECVT is currently being used by
NASA for experimentation of zero gravity fuel gauging and by the US Department
of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory for the development of
next-generation, clean-energy power plants’.
About CTECH Labs Edwar Technology
CTECH Labs Edwar Technology developed the prototype for ECVT in 2004 and
continues to research and study new applications for the technology. CTECH Labs
has collaborated with world universities and centers for research and
development, including Ohio State University (U.S.), National Natural Science
Laboratory of Japan, and Universiti Kebangsaan (Malaysia). ECVT has been
featured in Science Daily (US), Scenta (UK), Chemical Online, and Electronics
Weekly.
About Dr. Warsito
Dr. Warsito Purwo Taruno is the founder and director of CTECH Labs. He
earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering and his PhD
in Electrical Engineering from Shizuoka University. In 2004, Dr. Warsito
invented the prototype for ECVT together with Prof L.S. Fan and Dr Qussai
Marashdeh of Ohio State University.
