Accounting for Complex Structure in Diffusion Weighted Imaging Data using Volume Fraction Representations KU Leuven
The domain of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) has come a long way since its initial development in the mid-1980s. Over the years, we have gained a better understanding of the accompanying techniques and necessary processing steps involved, furthermore leading to a wealth of new insights in the complex workings of the (human) brain. The introduction of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has played a crucial role in thisprocess, as it provided ...
Performance-Enhancing Techniques for Tucker Tensor Decompositions in Data Processing KU Leuven
As datasets grow in size, so has their dimensionality in many cases. Numerical data in the form of arrays with 3 or more dimensions, i.e. tensors, are commonly found in hyperspectral imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, simulations, X-ray scans, and so on. Even relational databases can be represented using sparse tensors. As a result of this trend, tensor decompositions were developed to process such multidimensional numerical data. Among ...

The chronic pain brain: structural white and gray matter correlates of impaired muscle control and deficient pain processing Ghent University
The present research project we will use objective and sophisticated measures of pain processing, muscle control and brain structure to examine whether structural brain alterations are associated with impaired muscle control and dysfunctional pain processing, and are related to the recurrence and/or persistence of pain in musculoskeletal discorders such as low back pain and fibromyalgia.
An integrated approach of neuroimaging, neurocomputational modeling and neuromodulation for the identification of the primary pathology in stuttering. KU Leuven
The pathomechanism of spontaneous peripheral neuropathy in aging rats Ghent University
In ageing rats, there is a high incidence of spontaneous peripheral neuropathy, resulting in hind limb paresis, evolving to complete hind limb
paralysis. Lesions developing in the rats’ peripheral nervous system will be followed up
in vivo, using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and electrophysiological examination. Thereafter, early pathobiology of the disorder will be studied more in depth.
