IEEE Kharagpur Section

Confused about What is Robotics? Where to Learn? And What to Learn? We are pleased to inform that the IEEE Young Professionals Affinity Group Kharagpur Section in collaboration with IEEE Kharagpur Section, and IEEE EMBS SBC IIT Kharagpur is organising an event “IEEE R10 Young Professionals UpSkill 2023 - Kharagpur” on 15-16 July 2023 and this event is supported by IEEE Region 10 Young Professionals and IEEE UPP. The theme for this event is “RoBoNeeRs”. Its main focus is to give an overview of robotics to the participants who want to step into the robotics field. This event is packed with the different talks from industry and academia, handson workshops using electronic hardware. Eligibility to participate: - You need to be a student of a UG / PG / PhD program or faculty from any college / university or you are working in an industry. - Passion or want to explore towards Robotics / Robots. This event is going to be in hybrid mode and the details are as follows: Dates : 15 - 16 July 2023 Time : 09:00 AM to 06:00 PM (IST) Venue: Offline: IEEE Office, NA-203, Nalanda Complex, IIT Kharagpur Campus, INDIA. Fee details: Minimal Sign-Up fee is there and the details are in website link below. * Note: Kindly note that payment is non-transferable and non-refundable* For more details visit @https://r10.ieee.org/kharagpur-yp/?page_id=1772 Co-sponsored by: IEEE Region 10 Young Professionals and IEEE UPP Room: NA-203, Bldg: Nanlanda COmplex, IIT Kharagpur Campus, Nalanda Complex, Kharagpur, West Bengal, India, 721302

Ultrasound is rapidly evolving and can now provide information about tissue structure and stiffness for enabling objective diagnosis. Hermite-scan (H-scan) imaging is a new approach for characterizing tissue structures based on color-mapping of scatterer sizes. In H-scan imaging, radiofrequency (RF) echoes are matched to Gaussian-weighted Hermite polynomials of order n, which are related to the size of scatterers. Furthermore, shear wave viscoelastography exploits the shear wave generated by an ultrasound beam and extracts the viscoelastic properties of tissues from the frequency dependence of the measured wave velocity. In this talk, I will demonstrate the feasibility of differentiating glioblastoma tumors from normal brain tissue ex vivo using H-scan imaging, with potential applications in intraoperative brain tumor imaging. I will also discuss our work on validating shear wave viscoelastography on viscoelastic tissue-mimicking phantoms.
