AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Magnetic manipulation of objects within the body is a growing field of research since the second half of the last century. Therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities offered by such technology are extended with the clinical need to make procedures less invasi ...
For biomedical applications, such as single cell manipulation, it is important to fabricate microstructures that can be powered and controlled wirelessly in fluidic environments. In this letter, we describe the construction and operation of truly micron-si ...
We have investigated the magnetic structure in a polycrystalline sample of the B20-type MnGe by means of small-angle neutron scattering. On the projected diffraction plane normal to the incoming neutron beam, a Debye-ring-like pattern appears due to the ra ...
In this project we numerically simulate electrophysiological models for cardiac applications by means of Isogeometric Analysis. Specifically, we aim at understanding the advantages of using high order continuous NURBS (Non-UniformRational B-Splines) basis ...
Cardiac ablation is a worldwide accepted minimally invasive procedure to treat Atrial Fibrillation (AF). It consists in creating lesions with a catheter in the cardiac tissue in order to cut off specific electrical pathways. During this project, based on p ...
Knowledge of frictional forces acting on the tips of minimally invasive medical devices is important in the design and simulation of such devices. Moreover, several studies have shown that uncontrolled frictional forces can induce damage to organs. The goa ...
This paper reports the design of a Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) gripper with four degrees of freedom force sensing capabilities. It will be used to provide force feedback during surgical interventions in which the surgeon will remotely manipulate surgi ...

Minimally invasive intervention strategies after myocardial infarction use state-of-the-art catheter systems that are able to combine mapping of the infarcted area with precise, local injection of drugs. To this end, catheter delivery of drugs that are not ...
Several geometries have recently been proposed for spin-transfer oscillators, with the purpose of optimizing the output power and the frequency dependence on the applied current, as well as minimizing the external magnetic field required to stabilize magne ...

The aim of this work is to present different markers resulting from the analysis of a single ECG lead recorded during sinus rhythm. To this purpose, the ECGs from three populations were compared: healthy subjects, patients subject to paroxysmal AF selected ...
