Abstract:

We have one Ph.D. position on the topic of vascular image analysis

Description:

We have one Ph.D. position on the topic of vascular image analysis. In this Ph.D. project you will develop model based techniques to segment the vessel lumen and vessel walls, to determine plaque morphology, and to characterize plaque components from multispectral MR image data of the carotid arteries. The results will be used to derive biomechanical parameters to improve assessment of the risk of stroke and of the need for surgical removal of the plaque. The Ph.D. position is part of the STW-funded research project “Non-Invasive assessment of Biomechanical Stress Acting on Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques for Stroke Risk Prediction”, which is a collaboration with the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Department of Radiology at Erasmus MC and industrial partners.
