MSc thesis project proposal
Development of accurate dielectric property imaging for 1.5T MRI
Project outside the university
Daniel den Hoed Cancer CenterAssignment
For treatment planning, 3D patient-specific models are generated by discriminating tissues using computed tomography (CT) and MR imaging scans. A 3D dielectric model is then created by assigning literature based properties to these tissues. Unfortunately, properties for normal and tumor tissues are different between patients. To retrieve these patient-specific tissue properties, we recently applied the contrast source inversion (CSI) method to 3T MR scanner data and successfully retrieved the desired tissue properties. The current project is dedicated to extending the CSI-MRI method to 1.5T scans taken during MR guided hyperthermia and will be carried out in close cooperation with the Hyperthermia Unit of the Daniel den Hoed Cancer Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.Requirements
The actual M.Sc. assignment will take place in consultation with the M.Sc. candidate. A solid background in mathematics and basic electromagnetics is required and knowledge of Matlab is preferred.Contact
