The project regards the construction of prototype Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) equipped with an attachment for dual resonance imaging proton - electron (PEDRI) with a resonant frequency of 250MHz & 1GHz. These devices will provide information on the concentration of radicals and oxygen partial pressure and their changes over time in living objects. With their use it will be possible to monitor the effectiveness of cancer therapies depending on the instantaneous values of partial pressures of oxygen within the tumor tissue and identifying those moments where the treatment will be most effective. The combination of functional imaging (PO2 tomography EPR) with an anatomical (PEDRI tomography) will provide comprehensive knowledge of the study area. The project will also regard the construction of a prototype educational EPR tomograph and the spectrometer at a resonant frequencies of 250MHz&1GMHz.

The project relates to the development and preperation for the implementation of a specialized, innovative pulse tomograph for spatial imaging of neurodegenerative changes using the technique of electron paragmatic resonance. The tomograph developed within the project is a designed to advance scientific development, aiming at final rescaling for clinical use and satisfying the needs of patients in field of proper diagnostics of neurodegenerative diseases. The tomograph will allow to examinate larger objects than in current technologies, in a much shorter and precise way.
