Targeting high risk (ex-)smokers in Flanders (BE) for lung cancer screenng with low-dose CT-scan. University of Antwerp
Depth profiling of radiologically contaminated concrete, using CT-scan images and Monte Carlo simulations Hasselt University
non-invasive imaging of migration and survival of stem cells in the brain Ghent University
The consortium will develop methods to manipulate endogenous stem cells as well as cultured multipotent stem cell populations that can be grafted to enable non-invasive imaging of migration and survival of the cells in vivo, and to also enhance migration and survival. In a second platform multimodality imaging will be developed to allow in a non-invasive manner to follow the fate of stem cells in vivo. Some of these imaging modalities. here ...

Low dose CT reconstruction for online adaptive proton therapy KU Leuven
External radiotherapy is one of the three major treatment options for treating cancer (with surgery and chemotherapy). However, in contrast to photon therapy, even small uncertainties on the range of the protons may have potentially dramatic consequences for the patient. To control the range, it is critical to ensure that the atomic composition and the densities of the tissues are at all times as predicted during treatment planning. ...
New insights in the genomic architecture and treatment of high risk and oligometastatic prostate cancer KU Leuven
Prostate cancer (PCa) remains an important health issue as it is the second most frequent cancer diagnosis made in men and the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. Based on GLOBOCAN 2020 estimates, 1,414,259 new cases of prostate cancer were reported worldwide in 2020, with higher prevalence in the developed countries. PCa patients can be divided into 2 groups: localized or metastatic disease. Patients with localized disease are ...

The Use of Augmented Reality (AR) in Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) KU Leuven
Augmented Reality (AR) can have a great added value in Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). Until recently, stem and cup of a THA were placed based solely on the findings of preoperative X-ray. Last years, 3D-templating has made an appearance in THA. Despite these advancements in templating, this information is only preoperative available and no intra-operative feedback can be obtained. Based on a preoperative CT-scan of the patient’s hip region, a ...
