Proof-of-concept longitudinal follow up of cryptococcosis in mice: Assessment of host-pathogen interaction by using in vivo imaging modalities (MRI, multi-photon microscopy) KU Leuven
Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii (CN/ CG) have emerged as significant human pathogens, giving rise to potentially life-threatening diseases. Infection typically occurs when pathogenic particles are inhaled, leading to pulmonary disease. Following this, dissemination to other organs, particularly the central nervous system, can occur, resulting in the development of meningoencephalitis and/or focal lesions. The precise mechanism ...
Tensor Based Approaches in Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging and Multi-parametric MRI Data Analysis KU Leuven
Accurate characterisation and localization of pathologic tissue types play a key role in diagnosis and treatment planning of brain tumors. Neuroimaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) are being used to characterize brain tumors and detect full tumor extent. Analysing these data is both time consuming and ...
