Development and testing of a virtual patient-based training program on shared decision making for undergraduate medical students. KU Leuven
In shared decision making (SDM), physicians and patients make decisions together by taking into account both the most recent scientific findings and the wishes, expectations and preferences of the patient. In this collaborative process, patient-centered communication skills are combined with scientific evidence such as trustworthy guideline recommendations in order to improve the quality of care. Allthough considered best practice, SDM is not ...
An exploration of theories, models and concepts to formulate HCI guidelines for the realization of medical, shared decision making systems. Hasselt University
Staging the Musical Self(ie). An Interdisciplinary Approach to the Subversive Potential of Musical Persona Performance in Times of Social Media. Ghent University
This research project explores how music artists disclose a public identity incorporating elements of their quotidian precarious identity in an age of social media. It departs from music and theatre artists Ivo Dimchev and Matthias Ringgenberg (PRICE) who multiply their performed presence into a hybrid musical persona using the reconfigured context of social media. This amalgamated musical self(ie) provides an interesting critical potential ...
Supported ionic liquid phases for extraction and separation of medical radiolanthanides - Towards purification of medical samarium-153 KU Leuven
Radiolanthanides are gaining more importance in nuclear medicine because of their favorable decay characteristics. The emission of beta particles with energies suitable to destroy malicous tumor cells is very useful in cancer therapy, whereas the emission of gamma photons can be used for diagnostic purposes. Some radiolantanides are even able to serve both purposes concurrently (theranostics) making it possible to follow the effectiveness of ...

Implications of Medical Low Dose Radiation Exposure Ghent University
MEDIRAD aims to enhance the scientific bases and clinical practice of radiation protection (RP) in the medical field and thereby addresses the need to understand and evaluate the health effects of low dose ionising radiation exposure from diagnostic and therapeutic imaging and from off-target effects in radiotherapy (RT). MEDIRAD will pursue 3 major operational objectives: First, it will improve organ dose estimation and registration to ...
