PhD Candidate Rick Waasdorp is looking for ways to correct the distortion caused by the skull when using Ultrasound technology. ‘’My goal is to develop an adaptive method for skull corrections that automatically measures the skull of new patients.’’

Gabrielle has won the technical Young Investigator Award at Euroson 2024 (congress of the European Federation of Ultrasound Societies in Medicine and Biology) with her presentation entitled: “Ultrasound imaging in bones: tissue characterization, anatomical images and blood flow measurements”.

Ilaria started her PhD program in the Renaud group about ultrasound imaging inside bones, contributing to the advancement of such non-invasive technique to characterize tissue composition and to quantify blood flow.

Delft University of Technology has unearthed six glass slides (1890 – 1910), which represent one of the earliest attempts at colour photography. The slides were found during an inventory conducted by the Programme Tailor-Made Approach to Faculty Collections at the Imaging Physics department of the Faculty of Applied Sciences. To view the images, technician Thim Zuidwijk reconstructed a diffraction chromoscope, revealing vivid depictions of a vase with a floral motif and a still life of a fruit basket alongside a banana and a wrapped citrus fruit.

Researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), in close collaboration with SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research and LongWave Photonics LLC, have achieved a breakthrough in terahertz spectroscopy—a vital technology to study galaxies, stars, and planetary formation. They created a centimeter-sized, lightweight terahertz spectrometer that could replace traditional half-meter-sized, bulky, and heavy spectrometers in future space observatories. The new device could significantly reduce costs and offer greater flexibility in launching, making these space observatories more affordable and feasible. The innovation is published in Laser & Photonics Reviews.

The programme aims to make an accurate distinction between people with a high and low risk of dementia outside the hospital. For high-risk patients, the program then aims to provide faster and more accurate diagnoses with advanced imaging and image analysis techniques. The goal is to use analysis tools effectively, sustainably and affordably, and to determine which test is most suitable for whom and when.

The developments within this programme contribute to a more sustainable and affordable healthcare system by means of earlier cancer diagnoses, (quantitative) indications and more efficient treatments for only those cancer patients who will actually benefit from them.

The paper EUV wafer metrology using computational imaging method “ptychography” has been selected by Nature Light: Science & Applications as the cover article for the next issue to be published on 31 October.

Mark Vermeulen is a new PhD student in the Menzel group. He will focus on the theoretical analysis and image processing of light scattering signals.
