RESULTS: The presence of myomas was detected with the same high level of precision by both methods (magnetic resonance imaging: sensitivity, 0.99; specificity, 0.86; transvaginal ultrasonography: sensitivity, 0.99; specificity, 0.91).
This correlation was verified in the conventional SPR sensor based on Kretschmann configuration, and in the improved SPR sensor with high refractive index dielectric top layer for several cases, e.g. field enhancement due to resonance, the sensitivity dependence on the wavelength, the influence of prism refractive index on sensitivity, and the effect of the layers materials and thicknesses.
The central sensing device was a hybrid structure of nanohole array and gold nanoparticles, which demonstrated good conductivity and high localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensitivity.
Due to the sharp transition in amplitude caused by parametric resonance, the sensitivity is 1 2 order of magnitude higher than the same oscillator working at Simple Harmonic Resonance (SHR) mode in air.
In addition to work on inorganic materials, the group also has a significant investment in molecular structure and spectroscopy, most recently focused on molecules for magnetic resonance with sensitivities enhanced by hyperpolarization, together with the group of Thomas Theis, now at North Carolina State University.
Fano resonance exhibits high sensitivity and promising applications in the field of ultra-sensitive plasmonic sensor.
Resonance, frequency and sensitivity measurements were made for two different seismic masses.
Hyperpolarization via dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is pivotal for boosting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensitivity and dissolution DNP can be used to perform in vivo real-time 13C MRI.
Parallel magnetic resonance imaging through sensitivity encoding using multiple receiver coils has emerged as an effective tool to reduce imaging time or to improve image SNR.
Recent improvements in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) – automation, sensitivity, resolution, pulse-sequence design and spectral processing – are giving novel insights into a wide range of biotech drugs.
