Brief presentation of the institution

The Technological Educational Institute of Athens (TEIA) is the largest Technological Institution and the third largest University in Greece. The Department of Biomedical Engineering is the only department in Greece that offers undergraduate and postgraduate studies in the emerging field of Biomedical Engineering. The group of Prof. Loudos conducts research with particular focus on small animal molecular imaging using mainly SPECT and PET techniques. The group has participated in several FP7, Horizon 2020 and National projects over the past decade. The main expertise of the group is on radiolabelling nanoparticles and exploiting imaging modalities to provide information on their spatiotemporal biodistribution. Significant engineering work is focused on the development of dedicated imaging systems, with primary goal the minimization of cost and dimensions, in order to provide cost effective solutions to the research community. Additional research involves the use of Monte Carlo simulations in combination with computational anthropomorphic phantoms, as well as the simulation of hyperthermia experiments.

Main Radiomag related topics

Hyperthermia simulation, in vivo nanoparticles evaluation, nanomedicine, small animal imaging, thermometry.
