A Methodical Quantification of Needle Visibility and Echogenicity in Ultrasound Images
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)During ultrasound-guided percutaneous interventions, needle localization can be a challenge. To increase needle visibility, enhancements of both the imaging methods and the needle surface properties have been investigated. ... -
Real-Time Echocardiography Guidance for Optimized Apical Standard Views
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Measurements of cardiac function such as left ventricular ejection fraction and myocardial strain are typically based on 2-D ultrasound imaging. The reliability of these measurements depends on the correct pose of the ... -
Real-time Standard View Classification in Transthoracic Echocardiography using Convolutional Neural Networks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Transthoracic echocardiography examinations are usually performed according to a protocol comprising different probe postures providing standard views of the heart. These are used as a basis when assessing cardiac function, ... -
Sonopermeation Enhances Uptake and Therapeutic Effect of Free and Encapsulated Cabazitaxel
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Delivery of drugs and nanomedicines to tumors is often heterogeneous and insufficient and, thus, of limited efficacy. Microbubbles in combination with ultrasound have been found to improve delivery to tumors, enhancing ... -
Ultrafast Microscopy Imaging of Acoustic Cluster Therapy Bubbles: Activation and Oscillation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Acoustic Cluster Therapy (ACT®) is a platform for improving drug delivery and has had promising pre-clinical results. A clinical trial is ongoing. ACT® is based on microclusters of microbubbles–microdroplets that, when ...
