Helfferich, Florens (author)The tissue electrical properties of conductivity and permittivity affect the interactions of electromagnetic fields in the body. These properties vary throughout the different tissues as the tissue structure and composition varies. In this thesis, medical imaging and diagnosis is used as primary example to motivate exploration of a novel...master thesis 2024

Alfaraj, Ali (author)Imaging and inversion with seismic data recorded with sources and receivers at the surface are powerful tools to infer knowledge about the subsurface. However, creating an image with seismic data is unfortunately not as easy as taking a picture with a smartphone. The estimated subsurface models in many situations are far from ideal due to the...doctoral thesis 2024

Revelo Obando, B.A. (author)Seismic survey design deals with determining the acquisition parameters that lead to the best possible imaging and characterization of the subsurface. The design of the survey is constrained by health, safety and environmental considerations and the available budget, seeking for a balance between quality and cost. Because seismic exploration is...doctoral thesis 2024

(author)Thrombus computed tomography (CT) imaging characteristics may correspond with thrombus mechanical properties and thus predict thrombectomy success. The impact of red blood cell (RBC) content on these properties (imaging and mechanics) has been widely studied. However, the additional effect of platelets has not been considered.

van der Meulen, P.Q. (author), Coutino, Mario (author), Bosch, Johannes G. (author), Kruizinga, P. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)We consider the scenario of finding the transfer function of an aberrating layer in front of a receiving ultrasound (US) array, assuming a separate non-aberrated transmit source. We propose a method for blindly estimating this transfer function without exact knowledge of the ultrasound sources or acoustic contrast image, and without directly...journal article 2023
