1. 1. Radiotherapy treatment strategy for prostate cancer with lymph node involvement

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Amanda Östensson; [2023]
   Keywords : Radiotherapy; prostate cancer; lymph node; gold fiducial marker; multiple target;

   Abstract : Radiotherapy is a common and useful method for treating prostate cancer, often using gold fiducial markers in the prostate as guidance. However, when there is a high risk of lymph node involvement, the independent motion of volumes causes complications in patient positioning since there is a choice between position against the gold fiducial markers or the bone anatomy.

3. 2. Emphysema Classification via Deep Learning

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Olov Molin; [2023]
   Keywords : Deep learning; emphysema; CNN;

   Abstract : Emphysema is an incurable lung airway disease and a hallmark of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). In recent decades, Computed Tomography (CT) has been used as a powerful tool for the detection and quantification of different diseases, including emphysema. The use of CT comes with a potential risk: ionizing radiation. READ MORE

4. 3. 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.

5. 4. Evaluation of Computer Tomography based Cancer Diagnostics with the help of 3D Printed Phantoms and Deep Learning

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Alex Back; Pontus Pandurevic; [2023]
   Keywords : Machine Learning; Deep Learning; Convolutional Neural Networks; Perception Loss; CNN; DL; ML; Computer Tomography; CT; Cancer Diagnostics; Evaluation of Image Reconstruction; Radiomics; Tumors; 3D Printed Phantoms; 3D Printing; PLA;

   Abstract : Computed x-ray tomography is one of the most common medical imaging modalities andas such ways of improving the images are of high relevance. Applying deep learningmethods to denoise CT images has been of particular interest in recent years. READ MORE

6. 5. Uncertainties in the use of synthetic CT (sCT) for daily online adaptive radiotherapy for lung cancer

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

   Author : Johansson Vivika; [2023]
   Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

   Abstract : Background and purpose: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) based online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) has been clinically implemented for several anatomical sites worldwide. However, random and abrupt anatomical changes with large density alterations can occur in lung patients, leading to uncertainties with synthetic computed tomography (sCT) and dose calculation.
