Development of an Innovative Active Flexible Instrument for ENT Surgery KU Leuven
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is a modern surgical technique where surgeons operate through small incisions, called keyholes, rather than making large cuts to access the patient's organs. MIS is known to reduce patient trauma and shortens recovery time. To reach even lower levels of invasiveness, Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) has been developed. In NOTES, specific sites are accessed by inserting instruments ...

Improved non-invasive diagnostics of arterial disease through integrated simulation of medical ultrasound, arterial blood flow and aretrial wall mechanics Ghent University
Aim is to develop an advanced simulation tool for cardiovascular ultrasound applications, based on computer simulations of blood flow and arterial mechanics (expertise Ugent). As Ugent lacks fundamental knowledge on medical ultrasound, we will collaborate with NTNU, Trondheim. This bilateral project will specifically allow us to couple wall mechanics (Abaqus) and ultrasound (Field) and develop advanced ultrasound applications (a.o. 3D).
