Borren, Noor (author)Introduction: Trauma-induced rib fractures are a common injury, affecting millions of individuals globally each year. Although anteroposterior thoracic radiographs are part of the standard posttraumatic screening, the most sensitive modality, and therefore golden standard for diagnosing rib fractures, is computed tomography (CT). Still, between...master thesis 2023

van der Kaaij, Daniek (author)Introduction: High cardiovascular mortality primarily limits survival following kidney transplantation (KTx). The increased risk is intrinsically connected to cardiac structural and functional abnormalities. LV volumetric imaging measurements are used to quantify this, such as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular end...master thesis 2023

van den Broek, Ruben (author)Introduction Holland PTC (Delft, The Netherlands) is an independent outpatient clinic where ten different types of cancer are treated with Pencil Beam Scanning (PBS). Some of these cancer types are situated in the thoracic region and therefore exposed to breathing motion. The interplay between the dynamic pencil beam delivered in PBS and the...master thesis 2023

van der Heijden, Wouter (author)Introduction: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) belongs to the chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases, and primarily affects the axial skeleton. Quantitative 18F-NaF PET/CT is a new imaging approach that shows promise for accurate diagnosis and treatment assessment. Manual segmentation of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for quantitative feature...master thesis 2023

Oudshoorn, Jill (author)Introduction: The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is an artificial pump that can partially or fully take over the pump function of the left ventricle. The estimated risk to get a haemorrhagic or ischemic cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is 10% within the first 5 years after LVAD implantation. Computed fluid dynamics (CFD) is an engineering...master thesis 2023

van Loosbroek, Suus (author)<b>Background: </b>The diaphragm is poorly monitored in the Intensive care unit (ICU), despite its evident importance in respiration. Ultrasound (US) is frequently employed to evaluate diaphragm thickness (DT) and diaphragm thickening factor (DTF) but requires expertise and only covers a small diaphragm area. Therefore, advanced US (post-...master thesis 2023
