BACKGROUND: Early accurate assessment of burn depth is important to determine the optimal treatment of burns. The method most used to determine burn depth is clinical assessment, which is the least expensive, but not the most accurate.Laser Doppler imaging (LDI) is a technique with which a more accurate …

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique for collecting depth resolved information in human tissue based on an interferometer. With an imaging depth of between 1 and 2 mm, OCT is only used to investigate (near) surfaces. But with an axial (depth) resolution of between 2 and 10 μm, and …

In the medical community, X-rays are an important tool in imaging the human body. In principle X-ray images are 2 dimensional images. By measuring such X-ray images at multiple angles, one can construct the 3 dimensional inner structure of the sample. This 3 dimensional structure is created by applying …

Zoals de titel aangeeft is deze afstudeerperiode uitgevoerd in het kader van medical imaging. Het gaat om het quantificeren van zowel de ernst als de progressie van de ziekte Ankyloserende Spondilitis in röntgenbeelden. Er wordt gesproken van Ankyloserende Spondilitis als de wervelkolom in een ontstekingsproces …
