Optical tomography and topography devices to study (patho)physiology and mechanics of the ear. University of Antwerp

Many aspects of the mechanics and physiology of the hearing organ are still to be elucidated. I want to contribute to this field by accurately measuring the shape and behavior of the eardrum, determine its elasticity and mechanical parameters, and measure its thickness distribution over the entire surface for different animal species. Furthermore, the exact shape and location of soft tissue (muscle tendon & ligaments) in the middle ear is ...

UZA-Live birth after additional tubal flushing with oil-based contrast versus no additional flushing: a randomised, multicentre, pragmatic trial in infertile women with at least one patent tube at Hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (HYFOIL). University of Antwerp

Live birth after additional tubal flushing with oil-based contrast versus no additional flushing: a randomised, multicentre, parallel group pragmatic trial in infertile women with at least one patent tube at Hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (HYFOIL study).Ten to 15 percent of couples in their reproductive lifetime face fertility problems which is defined by WHO as the absence of pregnancy after minimal 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. ...

Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) project: Preoperative diagnosis of myometrial lesions using imaging (MUSA-1) and liquid biopsies (trans-MUSA). KU Leuven

Thierry Van den Bosch

Woman and Child

Malignant myometrial lesions or sarcomas are highly aggressive and require radical surgery in an oncological centre. It is of utmost importance to accurately identify sarcomas, not only because any delay in diagnosis is associated with lower survival rates, but also because the inadvertent morcellation of a sarcoma may lead to diffuse intraabdominal spreading of malignant tissue and hence to a dramatic worsening of the patient’s prognosis. Our ...

The sonographic assessment of labor progress, fetal wellbeing and the pelvic floor in the context of childbirth: developing new applications to improve labor outcome and identify high-risk patients for related morbidities. KU Leuven

Jute Richter

Woman and Child, Urogenital, Abdominal and Plastic Surgery

For ages, the assessment of labor progress and pelvic floor injury related to childbirth, has been based merely on clinical skills. Over the last decades, it has been well established that a vaginal examination to assess cervical dilatation, fetal position and descent during labor, is not accurate, poorly reproducible and often considered uncomfortable for the patient. Evaluation of pelvic floor damage after childbirth, is based on the same ...

BOF Sabbatical Leave - Kathleen Gyssels. two monographs about L.-G. Damas. 'a ti pa': vers une France décoloniale avec l'antillectuel L. G. Damas, Brill), and collection of poetry Mine de riens (2012), forthcoming 2022, with Ed. Passage(s). University of Antwerp

Institute of Jewish Studies

1. A first monograph will be finished in the form of an intellectual biography of Leon Damas. It will contextualize the poet and politician in the Negritude movement and in the broader field of postcolonial writing by prominent poets from African and the Caribbean. Neglected, Damas will here be rehabilitated as a forerunner of many emancipatory movements. 2. The Second monograph is an essay on the posthumous published collection of poetry by the ...

Holography and Supersymmetric Localization KU Leuven

Nikolay Bobev

Theoretical Physics

The most challenging problems in theoretical physics are related to the dynamics of strongly coupled systems and the puzzles of black hole horizons. Many of these open questions are brought together in sharp focus by the holographic correspondence which relates the physics of gravitational systems to that of quantum fields. The main objective of this project is to take major steps towards addressing the challenges associated with black holes ...

ADAPT: Adaptive and predictive arbitrary point scanning two photon tomography KU Leuven

Pieter Vanden Berghe

Translational Research in GastroIntestinal Disorders

Two photon (2P) microscopy is an ideal technique to image deep inside tissues and organisms, with good sub-cellular axial resolution and without causing tissue damage. These advantages make 2P microscopy suited for intravital imaging, which can be used to investigate how neuronal circuits operate in normal and fail in diseased conditions. However, the current recording speeds of 2P microscopy are a limiting factor. They do not allow imaging ...

Cofinancing core facility - Centre for X-ray Tomography U+2013 UGCT Ghent University

Matthieu Boone, Luc Van Hoorebeke

Department of Physics and astronomy

The UGCT is an interfaculty consortium that combines UGent activities around high-resolution X-ray CT. The consortium owns several state-of-the-art devices, the majority of which are self-built. For more than 15 years, the facility has bundled all infrastructure present at UGent for high-resolution X-ray CT for non-in-vivo purposes, and is used together with the expertise and knowledge to provide services, both on an academic and industrial ...
