Study of breast tumor diagnosis using optoacoustic technology

Abstract: Photonic technology plays an important role in the development of new medical diagnostic and therapeutic instruments. Readily available compact solid-state lasers and various types of light sources allow one to examine tissues in a clinical environment using new and emerging photonic technologies. The objective of this work is to provide theoretical and experimental procedure of laser optoacoustic imaging to address breast cancer diagnosis using thermo-acoustic imaging principles, where the analytical simulation and experimental results have been represented.

Design and implementation of FPGA download interface

Abstract:The FPGA download interface is a major problem in Iraq due to the shortage of resources and components in the electronic field which leads to simulate most projects in Iraq. The aim of the project is to design and implement an interface circuit to configure the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) by downloading the configuration file from the computer to the FPGA via the designed circuit. For this the Parallel Port in the Enhanced mode is used to implement the downloading operation and to debug the downloaded file in the FPGA .

A comparative analysis of blood flow measuring methods

Abstract:The purpose of this thesis is to serve as a general introduction to the blood flow physics and blood flow measuring methods, and as a comparative study and analysis for these methods. Blood flow is an important concept in medical field; it represents the function of the heart and the blood vessels of the body. Any abnormality in the heart or blood vessel will be expressed as change in the blood flow velocity from the assumed normal value.
