a. Summary of Past Research and Development Activities
• Developing a new methodology of nanolithography called Fountain Pen Nanolithography (FPN).This technique uses a simple bent glass nanopipette as a nano-pen with atomic force feedback. The simplicity of FPN can be used for flexible, fast and directed deposition of a variety of inks, from single molecules to particles that can range to hundreds of nanometer in size. The developing and optimization of the method was done with collaboration of Nanonics Ltd.
• Part of the NanoSpec group under a joint grant of NanoSci-E+ (Prof. Eleanor E.B. Campbell, University of Edinburgh, UK, Prof. Stephanie Reich, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, Prof. Stefan Maier, Imperial College, UK & Prof. Aaron Lewis, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel). This project involves a lot of issues from the nano-world: Surface-Plasmons, Nano-antennas, nano deposition of carbon nanotubes and nano-particles, electrical and Raman measurements on carbon nanotubes, SERS, TERS, AFM and NSOM.
• Printing carbon nanotubes at the nanoscale with the Fountain Pen Nanolithography (FPN) method. (Collaboration with Prof. Shlomo Magdassi group from the Hebrew University)
• Developing a sensitive near field microscopy tip for controlled optical and scanned probe imaging of living cell membranes voltage. (Collaboration with Prof. Aaron Lewis, Nanonics company)
• Printing metallic lines at the nanoscale and the microscale with the Fountain Pen Nanolithography (FPN) method. (Collaboration with Prof. Aaron Lewis, Nanonics company and Prof. Shlomo Magdassi group from the Hebrew University)

b. Summary of Current Research and Development Activities
• Developing an algorithm for automatic diagnosis of abnormal drainage of the upper urinary tract of the early phase fluoroscopic images in retrograde urography. In collaboration with Leichter research team and Prof. M. Duvdevani at Urology, Hadassah Medical center.
• Developing an algorithm for automatic diagnosis of external structures in panoramic radiographs. In collaboration with Leichter research team and Dr. C. Nadler, Urumaxilophacial Imaging, Department of Oral Medicine, Hadassah University Hospital.
• Developing a method for diagnosing osteoporosis by processing proximal femur radiographs. In collaboration with Leichter research team and Dept. of Orthopedic Surgery, Hadassah University Hospital.

c. Future Directions for Research and Development.
• Developing a method for automatic diagnosis of abnormal drainage of the upper urinary tract by quantitative processing of CT images. In collaboration with Leichter research team, Prof. M. Duvdevani at Urology, Hadassah Medical center and Prof. J. Sosna, director of X-ray - imaging system, Hadassah Medical Center.
• Computerized image analysis of CBCT for the assessment of maxillofacial pathologies. In collaboration with Leichter research team and Dr. C. Nadler, Urumaxilophacial Imaging, Department of Oral Medicine, Hadassah University Hospital.
