Van beeld naar Beslissing
Get PDFDoor vergrijzing van de bevolking neemt de vraag naar medische zorg aanzienlijk toe. Daarnaast beschikken artsen over steeds meer informatie om de juiste zorg te bepalen. Om voor de toekomst goede en betaalbare zorg te waarborgen, zal deze effectiever en efficiënter moeten worden. Medische beeldanalyse kan hieraan een belangrijke bijdrage leveren. Met behulp van beeldanalyse kunnen artsen beter en sneller de in de medische beelden aanwezige informatie vertalen naar inzicht in het patiëntspecifieke ziektebeeld, om zo beter en sneller beslissingen te nemen over de toe te passen therapie. In deze rede beschrijft Breeuwer de huidige status van cardiovasculaire beeldanalyse algoritmiek en gaat
hij in op de onderzoeksvragen voor de toekomst. Hij concentreert zich daarbij op de toepassing van cardiovasculaire beeldanalyse algoritmiek op magnetische resonantie beelden
Patient-Specific Mappings between Myocardial and Coronary Anatomy
Get PDFThe segmentation of the myocardium based on the 17-segment model as recommended by the American Heart Association is widely used in medical practice. The patient-specific coronary anatomy does not play a role in this model. Due to large variations in coronary anatomy among patients, this can result in an inaccurate mapping between myocardial segments and coronary arteries. We present two approaches to include the patient-specific coronary anatomy in this mapping. The first approach adapts the 17-segment model to fit the patient. The second approach generates a less constrained mapping that does not necessarily conform to this model. Both approaches are based on a Voronoi diagram computation of the primary coronary arteries using geodesic distances along the epicardium in three-dimensional space. We demonstrate both our approaches with several patients and show how our first approach can also be used to fit volume data to the 17-segment model. Our technique gives detailed insight into the coronary anatomy in a single diagram. Based on the feedback provided by clinical experts we conclude that it has the potential to provide a more accurate relation between deficiencies in the myocardium and the supplying coronary arteries
CAPRI versus AGLINK-COSIMO: Two partial equilibrium models - Two baseline approaches
Get PDFThe agricultural modelling world has generated several models aiming at the analysis of the response of the sector to certain changes in exogenous mainly policy variables. Among those, the CAPRI modelling system developed by a consortium centred on the University of Bonn and the AGLINK-COSIMO model, a joint product of the OECD and the FAO, are well known and accepted as comprehensive tools. This analysis focuses on a qualitative comparison of both models and particularly on the process of setting up the baseline. The baseline is a medium-term projection of agricultural markets reflecting current policies and those already decided upon. This projection in turn serves as the base for comparisons when analyzing scenarios. It is shown that CAPRI uses generic and automatic procedures whenever possible for conducting the database and the baseline, while AGLINK-COSIMO puts more emphasis on expert knowledge in this process. Both approaches are shown to have certain advantages while the conclusion that a combination of them would potentially improve both models will be drawn from this analysis.CAPRI, AGLINK-COSIMO, Baseline process, Agricultural and Food Policy,

This exam will be carried out by analising the translation into French by Marcel Proust and its paratext and the translation into Spanish by Miguel Catalán, accompanied by its paratext
Jean-Marcel Jeanneney à l'OFCE - Fondations et contributions (1981-1989).
Get PDFJean-Marcel Jeanneney était un économiste rare, à la fois théoricien, empiriste et praticien. C’est son aventure à la tête de l’OFCE que ce livre raconte, ou plutôt qu’il laisse l’auteur lui-même conter au travers d’articles écrits depuis le premier jour de son premier mandat de Président de notre institution. Ce recueil s’ouvre sur une introduction qui rappelle l'attachement du fondateur de l’OFCE au « libéralisme intellectuel», cette indépendance vis-à-vis des idées reçues qu’il jugeait indispensable à la conduite de politiques publiques raisonnables. Il est ensuite structuré en trois parties dont les titres font écho à une oe uvre marquante de Jean-Marcel Jeanneney : Vouloir le débat public en économie, Une mémoire au service de la prospective et Écoute le monde qui vient : intégration globale et unification européenne. Ce volume est un hommage à la mémoire de Jean-Marcel Jeanneney mais plus encore à sa présence. Les textes rassemblés ici par Jean-Paul Fitoussi et Éloi Laurent nous rappellent l’actualité des enseignements les plus précieux de Jean-Marcel Jeanneney : honnêteté, courage et espérance.

Marcel Schwob Digital Collection
Get PDFThis project outlines the discovery and digitization of previously unpublished correspondence composed by late 19th century author and literary critic, Marcel Schwob. Inspired by the inquiry of Bibliothèque Nationale Librarian Bernard Gauthier, Professor Daryl Lee alerted me to the presence of Marcel Schwob materials at BYU. I found that former BYU Professor John Green established a Marcel Schwob Memorial Collection and successfully published two books using the materials he gathered: Chroniques and Correspondance Inédite. After thoroughly researching the catalogued Schwob materials at BYU and comparing the contents to other Schwob publications, I found 72 previously unpublished letters. The majority of the letters (62) were written by Schwob to family members, and the remaining 9 letters were written to Schwob by colleagues. International interest in Marcel Schwob materials is one of many indicators representing renewed interest in the author, his work, and his influence. Recent publications also reflect growing Schwob interest. In Marcel Schwob, d\u27hier et d\u27aujourd\u27hui (2002), Christian Berg and Yves Vadé shed new light on Schwob through the observations of his contemporaries and modern-day essays on the importance of his contes. In addition, Jean Lorrain: Lettres à Marcel Schwob (2006) furthers the effort to better understand Schwob through a collection of correspondence. In light of this renewed interest, I determined that the previously unpublished correspondence would serve as a useful research tool for Schwob scholars. With the guidance and assistance of employees at the Harold B. Lee Library, I subsequently converted the correspondence into a digital publication. Creating a digital publication is a multifaceted undertaking requiring the involvement and expertise of different individuals and library departments. I successfully learned how to use both the hardware and software involved in the digitization process, thereby facilitating my completion of project deliverables, including: scanning and transcribing the letters; writing letter summaries (in both French and English), extracting names, and completing other metadata; uploading metadata using the Lee Library\u27s external database; establishing authority control records; writing website content (in both French and English), and publicizing the project. This document contains the major deliverables found in the digital publication, specifically the website content, the letter transcriptions, and the metadata
Assessment of coronary artery stenosis severity and socation quantitative analysis of transmural perfusion gradients by high-resolution MRI versus FFR
No full textOBJECTIVES This study sought to test the hypothesis that transmural perfusion gradients (TPG) on adenosine stress myocardial perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) predict hemodynamically significant coronary artery disease (CAD) as defined by fractional flow reserve (FFR). BACKGROUND Myocardial ischemia affects the subendocardial layers of the left ventricular myocardium earlier and more severely than the outer layers, and the identification of TPG should be sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of CAD. Previous studies have shown that high spatial resolution myocardial perfusion CMR allows quantitation of TPG between the subendocardium and the subepicardium. METHODS Sixty-seven patients (53 men, age 61 +/- 9 years) underwent coronary angiography and high-resolution (1.2 x 1.2-mm in-plane) adenosine stress perfusion CMR at 3.0-1. TPG was calculated for 3 coronary territories. Visual analysis was performed to identify myocardial ischemia. FFR was measured in all vessels with >= 50% severity stenosis. FF
