Perineal noise recording as a non-invasive diagnostic method of urinary bladder outlet obstruction: a study in polyvinyl alcohol and silicone model urethrasTim Idzenga
Department of Urology, Sector Furore, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Neurourol Urodyn 24:381-8. 2005..This method induces the risk of urinary tract infection and urethral trauma. We studied perineal noise recording as an alternative, non-invasive diagnostic method in three flexible/extensible model urethras and two silicone tubes...
Finite element modeling and intravascular ultrasound elastography of vulnerable plaques: parameter variationRadj A Baldewsing
Biomedical Engineering, room Ee 23 02, Thoraxcenter, Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam, P O Box 1738, Rotterdam 3000 DR, The Netherlands
Ultrasonics 42:723-9. 2004..To understand and quantify the influence of these parameters upon measured IVUS elastograms, they were varied in a finite element model (FEM) that simulates IVUS elastograms of vulnerable plaques...
A finite element model for performing intravascular ultrasound elastography of human atherosclerotic coronary arteriesRadj A Baldewsing
Biomedical Engineering, Thoraxcenter, Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Ultrasound Med Biol 30:803-13. 2004..As such, the FEM may help in quantifying strain-dependencies and assist in tissue characterization by reconstructing a Young's modulus image from a measured elastogram...
Assessment of vulnerable plaque composition by matching the deformation of a parametric plaque model to measured plaque deformationRadj A Baldewsing
Biomedical Engineering, room Ee 23 02, Thoraxcenter, Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam, PO Box 1738, 3000 DR Rotterdam, The Netherlands
IEEE Trans Med Imaging 24:514-28. 2005..2/4 kPa, EM = 16.8/16, for the in vitro plaque EL = n.a./29, EM = n.a./647, EC = n.a./1784 kPa and for the in vivo plaque EL = n.a./2, EM = n.a./188, Ec = n.a./188 kPa...
Robustness of reconstructing the Young's modulus distribution of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques using a parametric plaque modelRadj A Baldewsing
Biomedical Engineering, Thorax Centre, Erasmus Medical Centre Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Ultrasound Med Biol 31:1631-45. 2005..Furthermore, reconstructions were 1. independent of catheter position and 2. independent of strain noise. As such, this method has potential to monitor robustly and quantitatively atherosclerosis in vivo...
Local elasticity imaging of vulnerable atherosclerotic coronary plaquesRadj A Baldewsing
Biomedical Engineering, Thorax Center, Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Adv Cardiol 44:35-61. 2007..This chapter describes the terminology and pathophysiology of vulnerable plaques and discusses the techniques behind, the methods for and the validations of the elasticity imaging techniques...
Young's modulus reconstruction of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque components using deformable curvesRadj A Baldewsing
Biomedical Engineering, Thorax Centre, Erasmus Medical Centre Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Ultrasound Med Biol 32:201-10. 2006..Consequently, this method may become a valuable tool for the quantification of both the morphology and stiffness of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque components...
Intravascular palpography for vulnerable plaque assessmentJohannes A Schaar
Thoraxcenter, Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
J Am Coll Cardiol 47:C86-91. 2006..The clinical utility of this technique is yet to be determined, and more investigation is needed...
