Verseput, Marien (author)Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive tool to image the body’s anatomy and physiology, but suffers from long scan times. Compressed Sensing (CS) is used to accelerate MRI scans by incoherently taking fewer measurements and using a nonlinear optimization algorithm to image the undersampled data. Convex optimization techniques are...master thesis 2023

Budd, Jeremy M. (author), van Gennip, Y. (author), Latz, Jonas (author), Parisotto, Simone (author), Schonlieb, Carola Bibiane (author)Practical image segmentation tasks concern images which must be reconstructed from noisy, distorted, and/or incomplete observations. A recent approach for solving such tasks is to perform this reconstruction jointly with the segmentation, using each to guide the other. However, this work has so far employed relatively simple segmentation...journal article 2023

(author), Bosch, Johannes G. (author)It has been previously demonstrated that applying an aberrating mask for 2D compressive imaging using a low number of sensors (elements) can significantly improve image resolution, as evaluated via the point spread function. Here we investigate the potential to apply a similar approach for 3D flow monitoring. We conducted a 3D k-Wave simulation...conference paper 2023

Bekkers, Amerens (author)Introduction: Coronary atherosclerosis can form large lipid-rich plaques inside the arteries, which are prone to rupture. Rupture can lead to thrombus formation and subsequent obstruction of the blood flow, which is the most common cause of acute coronary events like myocardial infarction. Current imaging modalities lack the ability to image...master thesis 2022

Bekkering, Aleid (author)MRI has been used worldwide as an imaging modality for decades due to its ability to distinguish between soft tissues. However, MRIs cannot be used in all situations due to their extensive hard- and software. For this reason, research in the field of low-field MRI has been conducted. Low-field MRI systems do not use superconducting magnets but...master thesis 2022
