Lymphatics
The lymphatics among other roles act as a drainage pathway for lymph fluid. Blockage in the pathway can lead to oedema or swelling of tissue spaces which can be debilitating. Accessibility to a low cost and readily available tool for early diagnosis is key to preventing lymphatic oedema. My PhD focuses on developing such a device to assess lymphatic function.

Associate Professor Frederique Vanholsbeeck
In addition to developing state-of-the-art imaging capabilities, Frederique has successfully worked towards improving the OCT technique. In particular the development of original signal processing methods using OCT to identify tissues of different natures, adding a layer of functional information to the structural image.
