  1. 1. Simulating metal ct artefacts for ground truth generation in deep learning.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Arthur Barakat; [2023]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : CT scanning stands as one of the most employed imaging techniques used in clinical field. In the presence of metal implants in the field of view (FOV), distortions and noise appear on the 3D image leading to inaccurate bone segmentation, often required for surgery planning or implant design.

  3. 2. Fine-Tuning Parameters in CT

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Anton Adelöw; Tomas Nordström; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that usesX-rays to obtain a reconstruction of an object. The term acquisition ge-ometry refers to the arrangement of imaging sensors and the X-ray sourceas well as the procedure used for data collection. READ MORE

  4. 3. Optic nerve sheath diameter semantic segmentation and feature extraction

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Simone Bonato; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Computer Vision; Image Segmentation; Medical Imaging; Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter; nnU-Net; Maskininlärning; datorseende; bildsegmentering; medicinsk bildbehandling; optisk nervslidsdiameter; nnU-Net;

    Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects millions of people worldwide, leading to significant mortality and disability rates. Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) resulting from TBI can cause severe complications and requires early detection to improve patient outcomes. READ MORE

  5. 4. Improving proton therapy planning with photon-counting spectral computed tomography

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Karin Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Proton therapy; Medical imaging; Computed Tomography; Protonterapi; Medicinsk avbildning; Datortomografi;

    Abstract : Proton radiation therapy is an alternative to conventional photon radiation therapy, which accounts for the majority of radiation treatments today. The rationale for using protons in radiation therapy lies in their dose deposition properties; photons deposit a radiation dose inversely proportional to the energy, and therefore tissue depth, while protons exhibit a sharp Bragg peak when traversing matter.

  6. 5. Characterization of Carotid Atherosclerotic Stenosis on Photon-Counting Computed Tomography

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : My Celander; [2023]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Introduction and aim Atherosclerotic stenosis located at the carotid bifurcation accounts for 10% − 20% of all Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA) and ischemic strokes, which occurs when Atherosclerotic stenosis, or so-called plaque, ruptures. The current method to evaluate carotid atherosclerotic stenosis is to measure the degree of stenosis. READ MORE
