In 2010, an estimated 15 million infants were born prematurely, which makes up 10% of all childbirths that year. Just in the Netherlands there were 11,530 preterm births in 2018. Since these children should be spending additional months inside of the uterus, they are delicate and need to grow until near regular gestational age inside of an...

In this study multiple design approaches have been tried to accurately determine the respiratory rate every 30 seconds of a patient in a hospital bed using six piezoelectric pressure sensors located sand­wiched between the mattress and the bed. After four design iterations using a variety of different methods, a final design using a Least Mean...

In this research a sensor patch for newborns is proposed. This sensor patch is a device which would be attached to the skin of a newborn in order to monitor vital health signs such as: temperature, heart rate, respiration rate and oxygen saturation. Furthermore, a bilirubin sensor will be included to check the newborn for jaundice. Thereafter,...

A biopsy is a type of diagnostic medical test, which consists of extracting sample tissue for examination to determine the presence, cause, or extent of a disease. Most commonly, biopsies are used to investigate cancerous or inflammatory conditions. For context of this design study, breast biopsies were chosen as an area of interest. Rather than...

Up to 40% of medical equipment in the developing world is broken, largely due to lack of repair and maintenance. This report investigates the possibility of improving repair by making use fo remote communication technologies. Research is performed at a User Interaction and Systems level and combined to create the design of a remote servicing...

Lung tumors are heterogeneous entities consisting of distinct intra-tumor regions with different biological characteristics. Currently, the only means to explore and analyze these distinct intra-tumor regions is to inspect several image acquisitions. From these, per-voxel functional tissue parameters, representative of tissue properties, are...

The lower leg stump is not a stable volume. Volume changes during the day between -10% and +5% may occur and these are caused by fluid movements in the stump. These volume changes can mess up a good fitting prosthetic socket and this can lead to pain and injuries. A new invention called “Unimode Beams” solves this issue by placing over 100 beams...

Laparoscopic suturing can be very time consuming and frustrating for inexperienced surgeons. It is one of the hardest actions to perform in a laparoscopic fashion, but it remains the golden standard. There are alternative fixation methods such as automatic needle passers, knot-tying devices, staplers, tackers and adhesives but they all have...

3D Scanning and 3D Printing are both emerging technologies and receive a lot of attention by media and conferences. For a lot of causes, injection molding or other ‘traditional’ forms of production are far superior over 3D Printing. However, for some applications, it can be revolutionary. The medical branch needs and develops a lot of very...

Systems providing assistance during a biopsy or an autopsy can be found in various medical centers and hospitals, today. Traditionally, CT(computed tomography) and MRI(magnetic resonance imaging) scans are used to produce detailed 3D models and offer support during this procedures. Unfortunately, the high doses of radiation which are involved...

Image registration is a technique where two images or volumes are mapped onto each other. In medical imaging this is used to combine and compare images from patients in order to find abnormalities or to track a patient’s treatment effects over time. There are registration algorithms and software packages available, but they are cumbersome and...

Objectives: Development of a practical and fully integrated SPECT-bioluminescence-fluorescence platform suitable for pre-clinical studies. Methods: An optical imaging (OI) add-on module was developed for integration with a pre-clinical SPECT system (U-SPECT, MILabs, The Netherlands). The optical module consists of a box sliding over the robot...

HyFoSy (Hysterosalpingo Foam Sonography) is a gynaecological procedure to test the tubal patency of infertile females. The procedure is performed with a transvaginal ultrasound probe and an intrauterine foam, ExEm©-Foam. The foam distends the walls of the fallopian tubes and has echogenic properties. The ultrasound waves excite the air bubbles...
