  1. 1. Prospects for a Free Electron Laser at the FemtoMAX Beamline

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Johan Holmberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Free Electron Lasers; FEL; synchrotron radiation; MAX IV; FemtoMAX; GENESIS 1.3; XFEL; X-rays; soft X-rays; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A Free Electron Laser (FEL), is a device that generates extremely coherent and brilliant radiation using electrons accelerated to relativistic velocities in a particle accelerator. The process utilises similar equipment to what is used at a synchrotron source like MAX IV, but in addition there is an interaction between the relativistic electron beam and the generated radiation to achieve an exponential growth in radiation intensity.

  3. 2. Evaluating aperture shape controller (ASC) in modulated radiation treatments

    University essay from

    Author : Vilma Andrén Cederholm; [2023-09-28]
    Keywords : Medical physics;

    Abstract : To decrease aperture complexity, the aperture shape controller (ASC) is a recently introduced function in Eclipse external beam planning (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, USA). ASC works within the photon optimizer, minimizing distances between adjacent leaf tips of the MLC. READ MORE

  4. 3. Anatomical segmentation of the human brain: comparative assessment of two automatic methods

    University essay from

    Author : Carl von Dorrien; [2023-08-22]
    Keywords : Medical physics; MAPER; FreeSurfer; FastSurfer; Automatic brain segmentation; MRI; Deep Neural Network; Brain;

    Abstract : Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a robust and versatile imaging modality and an integral component of a lot of studies, especially when performing quantitative analysis. MRI is the preferred method of imaging the brain because of its excellent soft tissue contrast. READ MORE

  5. 4. Apoptosis induction in breast cancer cells after radiotherapy and potential radiosensitizers

    University essay from

    Author : Klara Simonsson; [2023-06-27]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Breast cancer cells; radiotherapy; systemic therapy; combination therapy; apoptosis; BH3 profiling; flow cytometry;

    Abstract : Background. Today breast cancer is the foremost cancer death type amongst women around the world. At present some of the toughest challenges in the clinic is recurrent, radioresistant breast cancer, and metastatic breast cancer where low cure rates are observed after surgery and radiotherapy.

  6. 5. Preprocessing for intravoxel incoherent motion analysis in the brain - Signal drift correction

    University essay from

    Author : Amina Warsame; [2023-04-17]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging; dMRI; Intravoxel incoherent motion; IVIM;

    Abstract : Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a diagnostic imaging technique that is sensitized to the movement of water molecules in tissues. Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) analysis can be used to estimate blood flow in capillaries from weakly diffusion-weighted data. READ MORE
