About Thoraxcenter at Erasmus University Medical Center

Thoraxcenter at Erasmus University Medical Center

The Thoraxcentrum of the Erasmus University Medical Center was founded in 1971 and is an integrated organization of the departments of Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery. The Thoraxcentrum is divided into six medical units and three scientific units: Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, Cardiology, and Biomedical Engineering. The focus of Thoraxcenter Biomedical Engineering is the imaging and diagnosis of cardiovascular disorders. This department is led by Prof. Dr. Ir. A.F.W. van der Steen. The Biomedical Engineering department brings together two technical specialities of the Thoraxcenter, namely: The Experimental Echocardiography group, which investigates the physical and technical aspects of ultrasound for cardiac diagnosis.  Erasmus University Rotterdam is an international knowledge workshop for critical thinking and academic training, driven by a strong focus on current social issues.  The Erasmus MC (medical center) is the university hospital of the city of Rotterdam, The Netherlands. It is affiliated with the Erasmus University.

  3. Carbonized blood deposited on fibres during 810, 940 and 1,470 nm endovenous laser ablation: thickness and absorption by optical coherence tomography

    Explore Article SpringerLink Home (Feb 10 2010) Cardiology

    Carbonized blood deposited on fibres during 810, 940 and 1,470 nm endovenous laser ablation: thickness and absorption by optical coherence tomography Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) is commonly used to treat saphenous varicosities. Very high temperatures at the laser fibre tip have been reported during EVLA. We hypothesized that the laser irradiation deposits a layer of strongly absorbing carbonized blood of very high temperature on the fibre tip. We sought to prove the existence of these layers and study their properties by optical transmission, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and microscopy. We analysed ... (Read Full Article)
