Model-based image computing for multi-X medical image data. KU Leuven
Statistical modeling of image processing methods in medical imaging Ghent University
Statistical modeling of image processing methods in medical imaging Ghent University
The main theme will be to model the total diagnostic image processing chain, so that weak or critical points in algorithms can be identified and improved already in early stages of research. Specifically the models will allow estimating the robustness of a combination of a cascade of image processing and analysis operaters w.r.t. image nois, suboptimal parameter setting etc. To ensure that the methodology will eventually be applicable in ...
High-content image analysis of cell death communication Ghent University
The aim is to elucidate mechanisms/functions of intercellular communication via connexins and cytoplasmic calcium changes and its implications on the communication of cell death and release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Connexins form a novel target for therapeutically influencing disease processes in heart/brain. We will apply peptide-based interference with connexin function to limit cell death and DAMP release.
Medical imaging KU Leuven
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 ...
Research in the field of psychiatry and that of medical psychology. University of Antwerp
Generic materials study towards high quality advanced medical, food and engineering 3D structures Ghent University
The aim is to provide a fundamental understanding of extrusion based additive manufacturing and 3D casting of multicomponent materials toward high quality end products. Thanks to a generic research methodology, covering common challenges on rheology and solidification, the 3D product quality of a wide pallet of materials will be realised, including thermoplastic/thermoset polymers, self-compacting concrete, and fat-based food dispersions.
