Optimized skin tissue identification by combined thermal and hyperspectral imaging methodology. Ghent University
The determination of local components in human skin from in-vivo measurements is crucial for medical applications, especially for aiding the diagnostic of skin diseases In the study of skin cancer and burn wounds and more specifically as a methodology for diagnosis of cancer type and identification of skin penetration depth, it is of great relevance to investigate which cell types are present and how these are distributed at or below the ...

Assessment of Thermal Effect of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field in Biological Tissues KU Leuven
Through 5,000 years of practice, physicians, surgeons, or people in general have utilized thermal therapy or “thermotherapies” to treat mass lesions now known as cancer. The methods have changed drastically over this time span and certainly, the techniques have improved the efficacy and safety. The hyperthermic therapy is usually a local or regional treatment for most cancer patients. There are multiple forms or methods of hyperthermic ...

Prediction of the thermal properties of porous building materials based on the pore structure. KU Leuven
Porous building blocks are increasingly gaining interest, thanks to their suitable compromise of structural and thermal properties, and their potential as high-end solution for upcycling waste materials. Having a low thermal conductivity is one of their key performance indicators with respect to their market viability. The present work studies the relation between the pore structure and the effective thermal conductivity of these materials. A ...
Research on earth surface heat changes caused by land degradation in the Mediterranean by means of thermal satellite imagery Ghent University
Many studies handled the fenomenon land degradation. The consequences of land degradation on the earth surface heat changes are not sufficiently understood. The heat fluxes will be studied by means of thermal satellite imagery. The time period that will be studied reaches from the first thermal images till now. The study area is the Mediterranean. This is an area of various landscape changes in the last decades.
