Automated Quantification of Blood Flow Velocity from Time-Resolved CT Angiography Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Improving the diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease in below-the-knee arteries by adding time-resolved CT scan series to conventional run-off CT angiography. First experience with a 256-slice CT scanner Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Purpose: Run-off Computed Tomography Angiography (run-off CTA) of the lower extremities has become the method of choice for the diagnostic imaging of patients suffering from peripheral arterial disease (PAD). However, it remains a challenging radiological examination with a considerable risk of non-diagnostic image quality for the assessment of below-the-knee arteries. In this study, we investigate the diagnostic benefit of adding ...
Electrochemical and surface characterization study on the corrosion inhibition of mild steel 1030 by the cationic surfactant cetrimonium trans-4-hydroxy-cinnamate Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Effective corrosion inhibition of mild steel 1030 at 0.01 M NaCl concentration was achieved by the use of the nontoxic surfactant salt cetrimonium trans-4-hydroxy-cinnamate (CTA-4OHcinn). Polarization analysis on the steel samples immersed for 24 h in the control and CTA- 4OHcinn-containing solutions shows the development of a passivation potential that is more obvious at higher inhibitor concentrations along with a maximum inhibition ...

Development of an enhanced sensitivity bead-based immunoassay for real-time in vivo detection of pancreatic beta cell death Vrije Universiteit Brussel
There is a clinical need for plasma tests to detect and quantify the in vivo destruction of pancreatic beta cells in type 1 diabetes. We previously developed a time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay to glutamate decarboxylase 65kDa (GAD65-TRFIA) that was able to detect the synchronous necrotic destruction of transplanted beta cells in the hours after their infusion in the liver. This GAD65-TRFIA, however, lacked sensitivity to detect ...
