معرفی
Pieter Boonen is a postdoctoral researcher affiliated with the Department of Electronics and Informatics, focusing on Supporting clinical sciences and part of the Research Centre for Digital Medicine. His work bridges computational and clinical domains, specifically in vascular imaging and diabetic foot diagnostics.
His research interests center on Medical Imaging (particularly 4D computed tomography), Diabetic Foot and Peripheral Arterial Disease, Hemodynamics, and Tissue Perfusion. He employs advanced imaging techniques like intra-arterial 4D-CT to evaluate blood flow and tissue perfusion, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning for vascular pathologies.
Boonen’s scientific contributions include peer-reviewed articles on 4D-CT applications in vascular diseases, with key works published in American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Radiology, and European Radiology Experimental. His research trends emphasize time-resolved CT angiography, quantitative perfusion analysis, and clinical translation of imaging technologies.
Scientific recognition includes a National/international honour in 2017. His work involves collaborations with experts in radiology and vascular surgery, notably in projects like VLAIM6 and FWOSB62, and has been presented at international conferences.
