Francois Malan, M.Sc. |
Overview
I am a PhD candidate at the LUMC in Leiden, working in conjunction with the TU Delft. Since April 2008 I am doing research in image processing and visualization, as applied to minimally invasive refixation of hip prostheses . The project will develop software tools to analyse and segment structures from CT data, and to visually aid the surgeon during preoperative planning.
