Hu, Yuyang (author), Brown, Michael (author), Doğan, D. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author), Kruizinga, P. (author), Van Der Steen, Antonius F.W. (author), Bosch, Johannes G. (author)We intend to develop an ultrasound compressive imaging device to perform carotid artery (CA) function and flow monitoring/imaging by using just a few single element transducers equipped with spatial coding masks. The spatially unique impulse responses can be exploited in compressive reconstructions. To explore the potential of different...conference paper 2022

(author), de Jong, M. (author), Gijsen, F.J.H. (author)Purpose: Atherosclerotic plaque development and progression signifies a complex inflammatory disease mediated by a multitude of proinflammatory leukocyte subsets. Using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) coupled with computed tomography (CT), this study tested a new dual-isotope acquisition protocol to assess each radiotracer...journal article 2020

(author), Klein, Stefan (author), Vernooij, Meike W. (author), Van der Lugt, Aad (author), Wentzel, Jolanda J. (author)Background and aims In a large stroke-free population, we sought to identify cardiovascular risk factors and carotid plaque components associated with carotid plaque burden, lumen volume and stenosis. Methods The carotid arteries of 1562 stroke-free participants from The Rotterdam Study were imaged on a 1.5-Tesla MRI scanner. Inner and outer...journal article 2016

(author), van der Steen, A.F.W. (author)The carotid artery (CA) is central to cardiovascular research, because of the clinical relevance of CA plaques as culprits of stroke and the accessibility of the CA for cardiovascular screening. The viscoelastic state of this artery, essential for clinical evaluation, can be assessed by observing arterial deformation in response to the...journal article 2014

Haverkort, J.W. (author), Kenjeres, S. (author), Kleijn, C.R. (author)The aim of Magnetic Drug Targeting (MDT) is to concentrate drugs, attached to magnetic particles, in a specific part of the human body by applying a magnetic field. Computational simulations are performed of blood flow and magnetic particle motion in a left coronary artery and a carotid artery, using the properties of presently available...journal article 2009
