1. 1. Evaluation of the DXA radiation environment at Sahlgrenska University Hospital

   University essay from

   Author : Saga Söderholm; [2022-05-18]
   Keywords : Medical physics; DXA; DEXA; Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; Bone mineral density;

   Abstract : Purpose: The aims of this work were to evaluate the radiation environment in the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) rooms at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, estimate personnel doses, determine legal requirements for DXA personnel, examine the operators’ view on radiation safety and develop material with dose information for patients and operators. Theory: DXA is a low dose X-ray modality mainly used in osteoporosis examinations, for which it is considered the reference technique. READ MORE

3. 2. Optimization of an advanced algorithm for bone imaging

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Adam Mrozek; [2022]
   Keywords : osteoporosis; optimization; programming; engineering; X-ray; bone; mineral density; speed; faster; projection; MATLAB; C ; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Fracture risk in osteoporosis is increased and osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease and treatment is expensive. Osteoporosis is diagnosed by measuring Bone Mineral Density (BMD), which does not consider other factors such as bone geometry or architecture. READ MORE

4. 3. Classification of Error Messages in Semi-Structured Log Files Using Machine Learning Algorithms

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

   Author : Salman Khan; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In Ericsson, newly developed applications are tested in an in-house testing framework. When an error occurs in the testing phase, manual inspection of errors in the log files and manual classification of these errors into production (PROD) or environment (ENV) classes cost a lot of time.

5. 4. Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing: Effects Of Variability In Technical Factors On Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Using Broth Microdilution

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Seemal Aziz; [2021]
   Keywords : Antibiotic susceptibility settings; broth microdilution; antimicrobial resistance; minimum inhibitory concentration; MIC; AST; Sepsis;

   Abstract : Background Broth microdilution (BMD) is a gold-standard reference method to determine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics. For this, a standardized concentration of bacterial inoculum (2e5–8e5 colony-forming units, CFU/ml) is added to progressively higher concentrations of antibiotics. READ MORE

6. 5. Deep Learning-Based Skeleton Segmentation for Analysis of Bone Marrow and Cortical Bone in Water-Fat Magnetic Resonance Imaging

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

   Author : Adham Belbaisi; [2021]
   Keywords : Water-fat MRI; UK Biobank; Deep learning; Skeleton segmentation; Bone marrow; Cortical bone;

   Abstract : A major health concern for subjects with diabetes is weaker bones and increased fracture risk. Current clinical assessment of the bone strength is performed by measuring Bone Mineral Density (BMD), where low BMD-values are associated with an increased risk of fracture. READ MORE
