Physical models for brain physics: Presenter: Spencer Brinker Date: July 28, 2010 LPPD Group Seminar, July 28, 2010
Introduction • Past Experience and Mission at UIC • Central Nervous System Physical Modeling • Rapid Prototyping • Proposed Model and Experiments • Closing Remarks LPPD Group Seminar, July 28, 2010
Past Experience and Current UIC Mission • B.S Mechanical Engineering 2009 (Southern Illinois University Edwardsville) • Main Objective: Grad School • Past Experience • Electroencephalography (EEG) • Electromyography (EMG) • Arm Prosthetic Design (Control and Actuator) • FEM Analysis (Human Brain Depth Electrodes in Epilepsy) • ConocoPhillips Rigging and Construction Engineer • United States Steel Metallurgical and Maintenance Coordinator • UIC Mission • Working with Tim’s Experiment (present) • Central Nervous System (CNS) Physical Modeling (future) • Magnetic Drug Targeting (future) LPPD Group Seminar, July 28, 2010
CNS Physical Modeling • Recent model (published 2008 IEEE) • In-vitro Measurement of Ventricular Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow using Particle Tracking Velocimetry and Magnetic Resonance Imaging • Matthias Schibli1, Markus Wiesendanger1, Lino Guzzella1, Klaus Hoyer2, Michaela Soellinger3, Vartan Kurtcuoglu1, Peter Boesiger3 • Overview • Pressure Control • Synchronization of MRI and Particle Tracking Velocimetry Pressure Control LPPD Group Seminar, July 28, 2010

Introducing Rapid Prototyping Machines to CNS Physical Modeling • RPM Types • Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) • Stereolithograpgy (SLA) • Polyjet • UIC has FDM (machine broken) FDM 2000 and 3000 LPPD Group Seminar, July 28, 2010
Polyjet FDM SLA LPPD Group Seminar, July 28, 2010
CNS Physical Model with RPM • MRI (DICOM) --- Computational Meshing (STL) --- RPM Prep (SML) • Material • Polyjet has a elastomeric material available • Model Layers and Components • Pulsating Bladder Layer • Inner CSF Tract (Lateral to Forth Ventricles) Layer • Subarachnoid Space (outer shell) Layer • Gray and White Matter Layer • Bladder Inlet • Spinal Canal Passage • Spinal Canal will mimic Tim’s Physical Model LPPD Group Seminar, July 28, 2010
Proposed CNS Physical Model Uses • Topics • CSF Fluid Dynamics Analysis • Drug Delivery • Magnetic Drug Targeting • Proposed Experiments • EEG and Magnetoencephalography (MEG) Analysis of CSF Fluid Dynamics using Ferrofluid Injection. • Apply this model to Tim’s radioactive fluid experiment with Spect Analysis (Single photon emission computed tomography) in the CSF tract. • EEG and MEG Topography Mapping analysis with Ferrofluid Experiment. LPPD Group Seminar, July 28, 2010
Closing Remarks • RPM is only as good as the MRI resolution and the Meshing software. • I believe RPM will play a large role in the future of medical physical modeling from the recent improvements in resolution and multiple material injection. • Thanks for those who helped me with this project! • Questions?
