The two public research centres Henri Tudor and Gabriel Lippmann merged the 1st January 2015 into the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology.
The following pages provide additional information concerning projects developed by the former CRP Henri Tudor department Santec. Please visit the official webpage of the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology to get more information about LIST.
DICOM TOOLS
The Tudor DICOM Tools are a Java library to perform high-level DICOM operations. It is based on dcm4che version 2, the Java Advanced Imaging API (JAI) and ImageJ. The library includes stand-alone applications as well as ImageJ plugins. It can be used as a library in own custom applications as well. It offers functionality to read and write DICOM files from a disc or a DICOMDIR file-set (e.g. DICOM CD), work with the DICOM header, anonymize images and send, receive or query images from a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) via network. The following DICOM network services are provided by the tools: C-ECHO-SCU/SCP, STORAGE-SCP, QUERY/RETRIEVE-SCU. Additionally it offers components to view DICOM images with features like windowing, zooming, shifting, measuring etc.. . Most of the included functionalities can be used in ImageJ macros. You can explore how to use them by using the macro recorder of ImageJ. For more information please click HERE.

DoseDeo
Working in partnership with the Luxembourg Ministry of Health (Department of Radio-protection) and the hospitals of Luxembourg, this multi-year project focuses on the automated collection and analysis of patient dose values for Computed Tomography (CT) scans. After each annual review, the results of the survey are examined by the project stakeholders and recommendations are made to optimize existing CT protocols. For more information please click HERE.

EPI-CT
The European FP7 project EPI-CT “Epidemiological study to quantify risks for paediatric computerized tomography and to optimise doses” estimates the risk for the paediatric patient to cancer. Under the leadership of the IARC, Lyon, the project will establish not only an international cohort, but will as well work on the biological aspects and optimsiation of radiation use in children. Our team contriubutes to the work packages data collection, dosimetry and optimisation. For more information please click HERE.

eSante
The Luxembourg government has adopted a national ehealth plan which recommends the creation of a networked platform supporting different applications for the exchanging and sharing of health related data. eSante is a R&D program which will support multiple projects; the first two involving the transmission of radiology reports and images and the improved exchange of laboratory analysis results. eSante framework will utilize a patient anonomysiation infrastructure which will be designed to insure patient data protection.

Optimage
The goal of the Optimage project is the development of automated image processing functions to facilitate constancy control in radiology. This project has lead to the creation of Optimage, an open source software software system designed to assess the image quality of predefined radiology modalities as easily and as quickly as possible. Working in partnership with the Entente des Hôpitaux Luxembourgeois (EHL) and the Luxembourg Ministère de la Santé, this project has successfully tested this software and is currently under review for extened use in Luxembourg's hospitals.

EHR QTN
EHR-QTN is a Thematic Network project that prepares the health community across Europe for systematic and comparable quality assurance and certification of e-Health products, more specifically of the Electronic Healthcare Record systems. The project fits with objective 1.6 of the 2nd Call for Proposals for the CIP-ICT PSP program: “Improving certification of eHealth products”, more specifically where the work program refers to the “good practice requirements as elaborated by EuroRec”.
