(In Finnish) Tervetuloa viettämään kansainvälistä Asteroidipäivää Observatoriolle!

Aika ja paikka: Perjantai 30.6.2023 klo 14-18, Kopernikuksentie 1, Helsinki (Observatorio)

YK:n kansainvälistä Asteroidipäivää vietetään vuonna 1908 tapahtuneen Tunguskan asteroiditörmäyksen vuosipäivänä. Tänä vuonna teemana on ajankohtainen DART-asteroidimissio. Sillä testattiin, miten asteroidien nopeutta ja suuntaa voidaan muuttaa törmäytyksen voimalla ja siten mahdollisesti tulevaisuudessa suojella Maata.

 

Observatorion näyttelyihin ja tapahtumaan on vapaa pääsy klo 14-18.     #asteroidday

”Kartiokeilatietokonetomografiakuvantamisen aiheuttaman potilasannoksen määritys ja optimointi”

Abstract: Kartiokeilatietokonetomografia eli KKTT on tyypillisimmin käytetty kuvausmodaliteetti kuvantaohjatussa sädehoidossa ja sitä käytetään pääasiassa potilaan asemointiin ja sädehoidon kohdistamiseen. Tämän työn tarkoituksena on selvittää yhdeksässä suomalaisessa sairaalassa käytettäviä KKTT-kuvantamisen kuvausparametreja ja kuvauskäytäntöjä sekä laskennallisesti määrittää kuvantamisen aiheuttamia potilasannoksia ja optimoinnin vaikutuksia.

“Mechanical Modeling of Multi-coil Transducers for Brain Stimulation in High Static Magnetic Fields”

Abstract: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) combined with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) shows the effects of brain stimulation through the changes in brain metabolism, which is a promising tool for brain research and for improving the efficacy and safety of the existing TMS treatments. The biggest setback in current TMS–fMRI technology arises from the mechanical forces formed on the transducer due to the interplay of the magnetic fields from the MRI and the changing current in the coil, leading to breakage of the transducers and additional safety risks. The objective of this study was to assess and compare the mechanical stresses on multi-locus TMS (mTMS) transducers inside a high-field fMRI bore using finite element modeling, and to build and test transducer options based on the simulation results. Our results provide novel inights on the mechanical behaviour of the coils during and after the stimulation, and give suggestions for more durable TMS coil designs.
