Caros membros do Fórum,
Gostaria de divulgar esta excelente oportunidade de duas posições para alunos de doutoramento na KU Leuven (Bélgica, top 100 mundial de acordo com o ranking da Times).
Para qualquer esclarecimento, é favor contactar djcbarbosa@gmail.com ou diretamente com o Professor Jan D'hooge (jan.dhooge@uzleuven.be)
Cumprimentos cordiais,

PROJECT #1
Research disciplines:
Cardiac ultrasound imaging, ultrasound-based motion estimation
Research environment:
The Lab on Cardiovascular Imaging & Dynamics is part of the department of Cardiovascular Sciences (http://gbiomed.kuleuven.be/english/rese ... index.html) of the University of Leuven (http://www.kuleuven.be) and is located within the Medical Imaging Research Center (http://www.medicalimagingcenter.be) of the University Hospital Gasthuisberg (http://www.uzleuven.be)
The project:
Our lab is developing new imaging methodologies for volumetric imaging of the heart at high spatio-temporal resolution. Moreover, over the years, several ultrasound motion estimation methodologies have been developed (e.g. RF-based block matching; envelope-data based block matching; elastic registration). The goal of this PhD project is to develop a hybrid motion estimator that is particularly suited for motion estimation of these new high frame rate volumetric data.
Profile:
Master in Mathematics, Physics , Computer Sciences or Engineering.
A background in ultrasound imaging, signal / image processing, Matlab / C++ programming are assets.
Position:
We offer a 4 year scholarship to prepare for a PhD including full health insurance.

Deadline for application:
February 14th 2014
How to apply:
Send your CV + motivation letter by Email to jan.dhooge@uzleuven.be
Start date:
As soon as possible (but summer 2014 is an option for students currently in their Masters
PROJECT #2
Research disciplines:
Cardiac ultrasound imaging, ultrasound image segmentation, real-time computing
Research environment:
The Lab on Cardiovascular Imaging & Dynamics is part of the department of Cardiovascular Sciences (http://gbiomed.kuleuven.be/english/rese ... index.html) of the University of Leuven (http://www.kuleuven.be) and is located within the Medical Imaging Research Center (http://www.medicalimagingcenter.be) of the University Hospital Gasthuisberg (http://www.uzleuven.be)
The project:
Our lab has developed – in collaboration with CREATIS, Lyon – a new segmentation framework (referred to as BEAS, Barbosa et al. IEEE-TIP 2012) towards fast and accurate segmentation of volumetric ultrasound images. The goal of this PhD project is to further automate this algorithm and to implement it on an experimental ultrasound platform in order to achieve fully automatic real-time volume measurements of the heart.
Profile:
