Can the heart scan be used for diagnosis and monitoring of emergencies in general practice KU Leuven
Introduction: Mostly, it is impossible to establish the type of arrhythmias, based on signs and symptoms only. An ECG device is not always within reach. We presumed the heartscan, a handheld wireless device, to be of value to a GP in emergency situations. We therefore studied inter- and intra-observer variability and the accuracy of the screen readings. Methods: All consecutive patients visiting the Emergency Department (ED) of the Gasthuisberg ...
How precise can bony landmarks be determined on a CT scan of the knee? KU Leuven Universiteit Gent Universiteit Antwerpen
The purpose of this study was to describe the intra- and inter-observer variability of the registration of bony landmarks and alignment axes on a Computed Axial Tomography (CT) scan. Six cadaver specimens were scanned. Three-dimensional surface models of the knee were created. Three observers marked anatomic surface landmarks and alignment landmarks. The intra- and inter-observer variability of the point and axis registration was performed. Mean ...
Can the CutiScan CS 100 (R) measure anisotropy and viscoelasticity in scar tissue after mastectomy? A reliability and validity study Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven
Background: Scars have different biomechanical characteristics, including anisotropy and viscoelasticity compared to healthy skin. To assess these characteristics, the CutiScan CS 100 (R) can be used. The aim of the present study is to investigate reliability and validity of this device in breast cancer patients. Materials and methods: Thirty female patients, with scar adhesions following mastectomy were assessed with the CutiScan CS 100 (R). ...
Can weightbearing CT scans be used to diagnose subtalar joint instability? A cadaver study Universiteit Gent
Can weightbearing computed tomography scans be used to diagnose subtalar joint instability? : a cadaver study Universiteit Gent
Can nuclear imaging accurately detect scar in ischemic cardiac resynchronization therapy candidates? KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Accurate scar assessment is crucial in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) candidates, since its presence is a negative predictor for CRT response. Therefore, we assessed the performance of different PET parameters to detect scar in CRT candidates. METHODS: Twenty-nine CRT candidates underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG)-PET/computed tomography (CT), resting 13N-NH3-PET/CT and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) prior to CRT ...
Detection and Localization of Delaminations in Thin Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites with the Ultrasonic Polar Scan Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In this paper, the hybrid compliance-stiffness matrix method for simulating wave propagation in (delaminated) multilayered media with viscoelastic anisotropy has been confronted with high-quality amplitude and phase experiments on delaminated composites, obtained using the ultrasonic polar scan setup (UPS) in transmission by considering harmonic as well as pulsed ultrasound. Results are presented for multiple thin carbon/epoxy laminates with an ...
