Dynamic B0 Inhomogeneity Correction at Low Field (50mT) using Interleaved B0 Mapping: Applied to Turbo Spin Echo and Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting

Low-field MRI is susceptible to temperature changes in magnet temperature, resulting in time-dependent inhomogeneities. This causes time-dependent phase shifts in the measured signal, leading to image distortions. In this project, a method is proposed to interleave short magnetic field (B0) mapping sequences in the target image acquisition for...

Smart magnetic fluids: Controllable distributedfluidic actuation

This thesis is centred around the problem that heart failures become more common when other dis-eases could be treated better. Although surgery could fix the immediate effects of heart failures, therecovery after the surgery is hindered by the heart not being able to pump enough blood. There aresolutions available but they are not implemented...

3D building change detection between current vhr images and past LiDAR data

Change detection is an essential step to locate the area where an old model should be updated. With high density and accuracy, LiDAR data is often used to create a 3D city model. However, updating LiDAR data at state or nation level often takes years. Very high resolution (VHR) images with high updating rate is therefore an option for change...

Rheology of a ferrofluid and magnetorheological fluid in a magnetic field

Through flow experiments, we determined the rheological properties of both a ferrofluid and a magnetorheological fluid. These rheological properties were affected by the presence of an external, variable, magnetic field. The rheology of the ferrofluid was almost unaffected by the magnetic field. The rheology of the MRF was strongly affected by...
