Anatomical adaptions to varying functional demands in the primate thumb. KU Leuven
The development of a bipedal gait marks the point in human evolution that freed our hands from locomotor tasks, resulting in unprecedented dexterity of the hand. This enhanced dexterity largely depends on the high mobility of the thumb. The mobility and full opposability of the modern human thumb allow for precise manual activities as well as the forceful gripping that currently dominate our daily lives. Despite the importance to human ...
Automation and Evaluation of Image-Derived Workflows on 3D and 4D Cardiac CT KU Leuven
Cardiovascular diseases are a major public health concern and currently the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Medical imaging supports several cardiovascular disease applications, and recent technological advancements have increased the quality and quantity of medical images available. In turn, the additional information provided has been supporting diagnosis procedures, treatments and patient monitoring. However, to ...

Can we use resting-state fMRI and CSD fiber tractography in presurgical mapping? KU Leuven
The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. It is a fascinating biological machine capable of processing massive amounts of information and performing a wide array of functions. In fact, it is so complex that we estimate that the number of connections between nerve cells (neurons) in the human brain to be about 100 times the number of stars in our neighboring Andromeda galaxy (1 trillion). However, like any other organ in our body, ...
