Nuclear medicine - lymphoscintigraphy

Quantitative lymphoscintigraphy for diagnostics and therapy of upper limb lymphedema

Inspection by lymphoscintigraphy is potentially the method searched for. Its potential for examination of upper limbs is, however, inhibited by the lack of a reliable quantitative evaluation when upper limbs are examined. The main reason is number of measurements limited both by the time-capacity of the gamma camera and by the ability of a patient to undergo a series of measurement in long time intervals.

Nuclear medicine - thyroid cancer

Model of activity kinetics

After oral administration of radioactive 131I to a patient, iodine is accummulated in thyroid gland. Its activity rapidly increases and then slowly decreases. Model of activity time course is useful for (i) prediction of thyroid activity in a near future, (ii) time integral of activity is proportional to a dose (i.e. energy of the radiation) absorbed in the tissue. Thyroid activity is measured once or twice a day and usually not much more than 3 such measurements are available.

Medical Applications

In this domain we are oriented towards computerized support of difficult diagnostic and treatment problems. The particular important applications serve us as test-bed of our generic methodology, algorithms and software tools. The specific problem of nuclear medicine topics is a lack of data for processing which points out the advantage of prior information.

Nuclear Safety

Assessment of radiological impact of accidental and normal radioactive releases on population. Application of multi-pathway transport model for regulation of normal atmospheric radioactive discharges from nuclear facilities. Advance from deterministic assessment of radiological consequences of radioactive releases into atmosphere toward the probabilistic approach.

Urban Traffic Control: Hierarchical control of transportation nets

The task aims at building a multi-level control of the traffic in large urban transportation nets. The basic unit we operate with is the traffic microregion. It is a logically delimited collection of crossroads and the communications joining the crossroads. We suppose, some of the crossroads are controlled by signal lights and the arms of the controlled crossroads are equipped by detectors -- measuring devices, providing us with transportation data (intensities and densities of the traffic flow).

History

History of AS department

AS department was created in middle of sixties of the past century. Control applications based on physical modeling reached soon barrier that stems from complexity of the constructed models and impossibility to find feasible controllers to them. It was found that simple black-box models are often sufficient for design of efficient controllers. The need to learn model structure and its parameters stimulated interest in so called experimental identification.

Advanced Control

 

The main direction of the research is a design and investigation of model-based control approaches and methodologies for their real implementation and self-tuning of their parameters.

Urban Traffic Feedback Control

The research deals with urban traffic feedback control systems. The general objective of the project is the enrichment of the complete design line of LQG controllers so that it will cover steps related to state estimation, ideally with mixed-type (continuos and discrete) states.
