ULTIMO: Piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducers (pMUT) for the next generation of low-cost, portable and high-performance medical ultrasound imaging probes (Ultrasound Imaging on Mobile) KU Leuven

Michael Kraft
Micro- and Nano Systems (MNS), Electronic Circuits and Systems (ECS)
The ULTIMO project presents a handheld ultrasound device with a large aperture for medical imaging applications. A large aperture transducer array leads to a significantly increased resolution and penetration depth. To achieve this, we will further develop our piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducer (pMUT) technology towards a first prototype. This type of transducer answers the requirements of various applications in which not only ...

Medical imaging KU Leuven

Frederik Maes
Processing Speech and Images (PSI), Translational MRI, Radiopharmaceutical Research, Faculty of Medicine

The valorisation domain targeted by this IOF program is medical imaging, a broad field that involves different imaging technologies such as RX, CT, MRI, PET/SPECT, US and optical imaging. Imaging research within KU Leuven is scattered over different groups that are clustered in a large consortium, situated at the Medical Imaging Research Centre (MIRC). Core members are ESAT/PSI, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, Cardiology and Radiotherapy, but ...

Innovative Medical Imaging for Neurological Disorders (iMIND). University of Antwerp

Jan Sijbers
Vision lab
Epilepsy is a frequently observed neurological disorder that is characterized by repeated epileptic seizures. These seizures are characterized by a sudden and unexpected change of the behavior and/or the consciousness of the patient as a result of excessive and uncontrolled electrical activity in a well-defined region in the cerebral cortex (the so-called epileptogenic zone). By placing electrodes using a standardized setup on the scalp ...

Color Imaging & Multidimensional Image processing in medical applications Ghent University

Guy Vanderstraeten
Department of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapie

Unfortunately the medical imaging community today is not optimally making use of colour and multi-dimensional information.

This research project will significantly improve this situation. The basic technology that will be developed in this project covers the entire imaging chain starting with acquisition device over image processing to visualization and finally (clinical) validation and standards.

At iMinds side all ...

CIMI - Color Imaging & Multidimensional Image processing in medical applications. University of Antwerp

Paul Scheunders
Vision lab
Medical imaging is getting more and more complex. Unfortunately the medical imaging community today by far is not optimally making use of color and multi-dimensional information. This research project will significantly improve this situation. In the technology working packages we will develop platform technology to better handle multi-dimensional and color data. The basic technology that will be developed in this project covers the entire ...

Uniqueness of human tooth morphology in medical imaging for human dental identification purpose KU Leuven

Patrick Thevissen
Department of Imaging & Pathology, Orthodontics, Oral and Maxillo-facial Surgery - Imaging & Pathology (OMFS-IMPATH)

Human dental identification (HDI) is based on the comparison of post-mortem (PM) and ante-mortem (AM) collected odontological evidences. The quality and quantity of these evidences play an essential role in providing a positive identification. In open identification cases positive dentalidentification is established under the assumption that the human dentition is unique for each individual.

In forensic identification practice an ...

Interactive learning in medical imaging AI: exploiting domain knowledge provided by on-line user feedback KU Leuven

Frederik Maes
Processing Speech and Images (PSI)

Deep learning for automated delineation and quantification in medical image analysis is complicated by the fact that expert annotated data are scarce, ground truth delineations are subject to observer variability and validation in the clinical setting is needed to get insight in the clinical requirements. Instead of striving for fully automated solutions, keeping the expert clinical user in the loop allows to interactively collect ...

Medical imaging using bio-inspired and soft computing (MIBISOC) Ghent University

Etienne Kerre
Department of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics

The general objective is to train the early-stage researchers in soft computing and bio-inspired computing techniques, with research applications in medical imaging. Specifically for UGhent the focus is on noise reduction (to obtain more qualitative images while keeping important details for diagnosis) and similarity between medical images (for retrieval in large medical image databases, classification of images in such databases).

CIMI - Color Imaging & Multidimensional Image processing in medical applications. University of Antwerp

Leen Van Brantegem
Department of Veterinary Sciences - other
Unfortunately the medical imaging community today by far is not optimally making use of color and multi-dimensional information. This research project will significantly improve this situation. In the technology working packages we will develop platform technology to better handle multi-dimensional and color data. This technology will be use as a basis in other working packages and applied to specific clinical applications.

Light for life: high contrast multimodal medical imaging using inorganic fluorophores Ghent University

Dirk Poelman
Department of Solid State Sciences, Department of Pharmaceutics

For many medical imaging techniques, radioactive sources are used as tracers. These tests are potentially harmful for the patient and personnel and require a lot of precautions. This project is aimed at developing an alternative and safer way of bio-imaging, based on luminescent nanoparticles. Lanthanide-doped inorganic nanoparticles which are both magnetic and luminescent will be developed. Using luminescent materials which can be excited in ...
