About the project
This project focuses on surgical infections related to breast implants and vascular prostheses. The project aims to examine the incidence, identify causative microorganisms, analyse differences in protocols and guidelines, and establish best practices for these surgical procedures. The ultimate goal is to improve healthcare quality in the cross-border region between Northern Netherlands and Germany by reducing risks and developing effective approaches for the implementation of new guidelines and protocols.
Radiomics with Clinical Data and [18F]FDG-PET for Differentiating Between Infected and Non-Infected Intracavitary Vascular (Endo)Grafts: A Proof-of-Concept Study
This study tested whether artificial intelligence can help detect infections in vascular grafts. By combining clinical information with PET/CT image data, the model showed high accuracy, supporting earlier and more reliable diagnosis.
