Research

The main goals of the project are to find out parameters of quantitative MR mapping and texture analysis that characterize and can improve precision of noninvasive diagnosis of the liver diseases (steatosis, fibrosis and inflammation). The obtained parameters will be compared with the results of MR elastography and US elastography that describe fibrosis degree directly. And also to propose optimal procedures based on multiparametric analysis of all quantitative data available including the best texture features.

Within this project we will focus on opto-mechanical aspects of photonic structures composed from microobjects and nanoobjects of various sizes and materials in under-damped regime. Depending on the particles material, two approaches for their self-arrangement will be used. In the firs approach their self-arrangement will be done by optical force interaction between objects inside the microstructure, by so called optical binding. In the second, particles will be confined in the Paul trap and their self-arrangement will be given via Coulomb interaction.
