  1. 1. A Machine Learning Approach to Skin Cancer Delineation on Photoacoustic Imaging

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Alice Fracchia; [2023]
    Keywords : Skin cancer; carcinoma; photoacoustic imaging; ultrasound imaging; machine learning; dimensionality reduction; sandpiles algorithm; active contour; multilayer perception MLP ; convolutional neural networks CNN ; autoencoder; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Skin cancer is a growing public health concern due to its prevalence among the population. Current clinical procedures require high invasiveness and multiple surgeries, which are responsible for patient discomfort and high medical expenses. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of the platelet yield index on interim platelet units from Reveos by comparison with platelet count from Sysmex

    University essay from

    Author : Jennifer Ahlin; [2023]
    Keywords : fluorescent flow cytometry; transfusion; blood component; automation; blood processing system;

    Abstract : Background: Platelets are the smallest cells in the blood and are involved in the wound healing process. Platelet transfusion is an important part of treating illnesses such as thrombocytopenia and to prevent and stop major bleedings. READ MORE

  4. 3. Ultrasound Imaging Velocimetry using Polyvinyl Alcohol Shelled Microbubbles

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Ida Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : Ultrasound imaging velocimetry; ultrasound contrast agents; polyvinyl alcohol; microbubbles; echo particle image velocimetry; Ultrasound imaging velocimetry; ultraljudskontrastmedel; polyvinylalkohol; mikrobubblor; echo particle image velocimetry;

    Abstract : Current research within the field of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) aims at developing capsules which are not only acoustically active, but also have a chemically modifiable surface. This enables use in new areas, including targeted drug delivery and theranostics. READ MORE

  5. 4. Pushing the boundaries of acoustic particle separation: achieving high-throughput, avoiding spillover effects, investigating the effects of the particle concentration, and measuring acoustic properties

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Linda Péroux; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Acoustophoresis, i.e., the contactless manipulation of small cells or particles via acoustic waves is a gentle and label-free method that can, amongst others, be used to isolate rare cells such as circulating tumor cells from blood. To isolate enough cells, a large amount of sample needs to be processed in a reasonable amount of time. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of innovative multi-physics solutions to optimize biological measure performance

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Mathilde Aubret; [2020]
    Keywords : Camera variability; statistics; image processing; LFIA; microfluidic; modelling;

    Abstract : Paper strips are becoming widely used for blood testing and particularly with embedded immunoassays. Among the so called "Point of Care" devices, the association of LFIA tests with a reading technology able to capture the strip and analyze its composition to output the biological result is advantageous in many ways.
