Unravelling the distribution of holmium microspheres following transarterial radioembolisation

Transarterial radioembolisation is a treatment for liver cancer that delivers radioactive microspheres into the liver via a blood vessel. These microspheres spread unevenly: some areas in the liver receive high radiation dose, others very little. In liver…

Microspheres in Motion: Investigating the parameters that influence radioembolization

This thesis investigates which parameters influence the distribution of holmium microspheres during transarterial radioembolization (TARE), a treatment for liver tumors. Experiments using 3D-printed models and porcine livers show that catheter position,…

The role of technological innovations in CT-guided minimally invasive procedures

Minimally invasive treatments offer many advantages for patients compared to traditional open surgeries. They are safer, cause less damage to the body, and allow patients to recover more quickly. This thesis explores how new technologies can make these…

Irreversible electroporation: maximizing treatment efficacy through optimization strategies and robotic assistance

Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a non-thermal ablation technique that uses an electric field to destroy tumor cells. The distribution of the electric field within the targeted tissue is critical for successful treatment. Achieving complete ablation…
