Assessment tools of the tricuspid valve using volumetric ultrasonic recordings as analternative to traditional CT imaging approaches KU Leuven
A 3D ultrasound platform for extracting clinically-relevant outcome measures in children with muscle disorders KU Leuven
Ultrasonography offers the opportunity to directly visualize in-vivo anatomical features. This can be exploited in numerous clinical applications. Ultrasonography is especially useful to provide information on the diagnosis and continuous evaluation of spastic cerebral palsy, since it allows an easy and fast data collection also during dynamic activity. However, most ultrasound (US) investigations are confined by the measurement range of the ...
Fabrication and characterization of 3D thin-film batteries. KU Leuven
The technological fields of mobile devices, remote wireless sensors, implantable medical devices, smart cards and energy harvesters are rapidly evolving. A bottleneck in the development of such emerging systems is the energy storage component required for extended autonomous operation. Miniaturization of conventional batteries is limited by the use of particle materials and a liquid electrolyte. Commercially available planar (2D) thin-film ...

Effectiveness of fluoroscopy-guided manual lymph drainage for the treatment of breast cancer-related lymphoedema KU Leuven
Currently, almost all patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) receive manual lymph drainage (MLD) to treat the edema. Despite this worldwide application of MLD, different systematic reviews and meta-analyses conclude that there is no strong evidence about the effectiveness of lymph drainage to treat BCRL. Belgrado and colleagues developed a new and more efficient method of lymph drainage to improve lymph transport, i.e. ...

Modelling of two-phase expansion in volumetric expanders. Ghent University
In the last decade, the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) has become a mature technology to convert low temperature heat to electricity. However these ORCs are all of the subcritical type. Yet, studies in scientific literature and our own research clearly shows the potential for increased performance with alternative cycle architectures. The trilateral cycle (TLC) is one of the most promising modifications and can boost the power output up to 35%. ...
