Advanced Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology Research Center

COVID-19 pandemic 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Radiology Research Center at Tehran University of Medical Sciences continued its research activities despite the challenges posed by the increased demand for CT scans of COVID-19 patients and the necessity of adhering to strict health protocols. This center played a crucial role in improving medical imaging techniques, optimizing diagnostic protocols, and advancing technologies related to CT scan image analysis.

Faculty members, researchers, and staff remained committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of healthcare professionals and patients while actively engaging in imaging data analysis, developing artificial intelligence algorithms for faster disease detection, publishing scientific articles, and presenting their findings at international conferences. These efforts aimed to enhance diagnostic accuracy, improve treatment processes, and alleviate pressure on healthcare systems.

 

Key achievements of the Radiology Research Center during the COVID-19 pandemic include:


✔️ Development and optimization of lung imaging protocols for faster and more accurate COVID-19 diagnosis
✔️ Implementation of artificial intelligence technologies for automated CT scan analysis and reduced diagnosis time
✔️ Publication of high-impact research articles on innovative imaging methods for COVID-19 patients
✔️ Participation in national and international projects focused on COVID-19 diagnosis and patient management

The center remains dedicated to advancing research in medical imaging and continues to contribute as a leading scientific institution in improving the quality of diagnostic and therapeutic services.

 

Some of the center's significant achievements during the pandemic include:

Microfluidic platform with integrated electrical actuator to enrich and locating atypical/cancer cells from liquid cytology samples

d electrical actuator to enrich and locating atypical/cancer cells {faces}

A microfluidic electrical actuator in the form of a cytological slide has been developed to separate and relocate atypical/cancer cells of liquid cytology samples (such as fine needle aspiration, uterine cervical smear and bone marrow aspiration) in a limited space for fast and precise pathological evaluation. The mechanism of this system named smart cytological slide (SCS) was based on the tendency of atypical/neoplastic cells, which have significant negative membrane charges, to positive pole region of direct electric field applied by the patterned gold microelectrodes of the actuator. Results of SCS on cytological samples of 70 patients showed better separating profile with much greater efficacy and selectivity than conventional cytological slides (CCS). Moreover, SCS detected the false negative responses of CCS in 5% of the samples while we used from the residues of the samples in SCS tests
