Background and objectives: Mitochondria require oxygen to generate energy for essential cellular processes. An in-vivo non-invasive technique to monitor mitochondrial oxygen tension (mitoPO2) is the protoporphyrin IX-triplet state lifetime technique. Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), one of the key components of heme, is naturally present in the...

The large intestines, or colon, is the last part of the digestive tract before the rectum. Colorectal cancer is one of the main reasons that patients need a colon resection. A colon resection is a surgery in which the malignant part of the colon is removed. After removal of the tumor, the two ends of the colon need to be reattached, also called...

Background: In Africa, many women suffer from vesicovaginal fistulas. In this study, a phantom model for a vesicovaginal fistula repair was developed that can be produced and used in Africa, to train medical doctors in the treatment of simple fistulas by the transvaginal approach.<br/>Method of production: The phantom consists out of 3D printed...

Stiffness perception in laparoscopic surgery has an important role in achieving appropriate tissue manipulation. The need for haptic feedback to perceive tissue stiffness and the reduce in haptic feedback when using laparoscopic instruments suggest an inability to sufficiently experience stiffness perception during laparoscopic surgeries. Better...

This thesis presents a method for personnel activities observation, i.e., 3D human pose estimation and tracking, in a Catheterization Laboratory(Cath Lab). We mount five cameras from different angles in the Cath Lab, where surgeons and assistants are in similar clothes while doing surgery. Accurate 3D human pose estimation is the cornerstone of...

Research on the possibilities to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the Operating Room (OR) is rising, although there is no implementation yet. AI-assisted monitoring could provide support to anesthesia assistants in their task of patient monitoring, by making predictions on the future occurrence of deviating events in the vital parameter...

Pencil beam scanning is a technique used in the proton therapy. This technique makes use of a thin beam which can irradiate each spot at millimetre precision. It is a very promising technique, especially for more radiation sensitive areas, e.g. lung carcinogenesis, as it can spare more healthy surrounding tissue compared to conventional...

Augmented reality (AR) promises to be a valuable tool for anatomical education since any given anatomical site can be studied dynamically in three dimensions (3D). Yet, it has not been used with case-based learning in medical education despite the latter's demonstrated benefits. <br/>This research, thus, investigates the potential benefit of 3D...

Sonneveld, Dave (author)
Compliant joints have significant advantages compared to rigid-body hinges due to a monolithic design and the absence of friction, which prevents effects like wear, backlash and stick-slip behaviour. However, the loading capability is often limited and the support stiffness generally decreases during rotation, caused by the use of solid leaf...

Currently, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, and a global ageing population ensures increasing numbers for the foreseeable future. Atherosclerosis, responsible for 80\% of cardiovascular deaths, is nowadays treated with stents, which scaffold the balloon-dilated artery and seals the dissection flaps. In 2016, the...

Developments in minimally invasive surgery such as natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery and single port laparoscopic surgery have pushed medical devices to be higher articulated and more dexterous. These surgery methods have proven to greatly decrease bleeding, scar tissue, hospital time, and cost. The procedures involve the...

This report is written for the thesis of my master Mechanical Engineering that was conducted at the department Precision and Microsystems Engineering of the Delft University of Technology. The goal of the project was to design a compliant hipback support of an exoskeleton while researching how to achieve desired directional compliance on this...

Introduction: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma holds one of the worst prognosis of all known malignancies. Local treatment options for patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer may increase tumor control and benefit patient survival. This study aimed to test the feasibility of a possible new treatment method utilizing intratumoral holmium...

The ability to control and adapt joint stiffness is essential in human motor control. Both control loops on the spinal as well as cortical level are likely to play a role in this regulation. However, the cortical mechanisms involved with the online adaptive control of joint stiffness remain largely unresolved. This study aimed at identifying...

Osteoarthritis, the degeneration of articular cartilage, which causes loss of mobility and chronic pain for patients is a common condition with high clinical demand. Care of this condition currently attributes to ±1.4% of the Dutch annual health care costs, but due to the rapidly aging Dutch population a 41% increase of cases is projected over...

Introduction. To prevent burns from scar formation and contraction, the use of splinting therapy in the early phase of wound healing is considered as an effective non-surgical method. Splinting entails the application of a mechanical load in the opposite direction of the contractile force within the wound, based on the assumption that wound- or...

Neurosurgery is technically challenging because of the inaccessibility and sensitivity of the brain. The risk of complications for the patient is high and simulation-based training is therefore preferred. However, surgical training in cadavers and virtual reality is not satisfactory. A phantom is a model of organs or tissues consisting of tissue...

Implant associated infections are one of the main reasons for implant failure in total joint arthroplasty. The cause is due to bacteria that adhere to surfaces forming a biofilm. Biofilm formation is an irreversible situation which requires excessive hospitalization and medical treatment with antibiotics, however bacteria have been proven highly...

In recent years, more and more medical operations are done minimally invasive. Intervention radiology is a medical specialty which uses minimally invasive techniques to diagnose, or treat diseases. Instruments like needles and catheters are used by radiologists to enter the network of veins and arteries guided by image modalities. A complex...

Chronic total occlusion (CTO) occurs in approximately a third of all patients with coronary artery disease and is one of the most challenging types of conditions to treat. Minimally invasive methods like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) show a high treating potential as well as low costs, short hospital stay and fast recovery. However,...
