  1. 1. Dynamic Finite Element Modelling of a Fall on the Hip

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Nils Nyberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Hip Fracture; Finite Element Modeling; Finite Element; Femur Fracture; Sideways Fall; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Assessing the risk of future femur fracture is an important step in preventing this serious and common injury. The current methods to predict the fracture risk are typically based on bone mineral density measurement, used as a surrogate for femoral strength. READ MORE

  3. 2. Beräkning av bendensitet och benvolym vid datortomografisk helkroppsundersökning av katt : jämförelse av två metoder för beräkning samt inverkan av storlek, ålder, kön och osteoartrit

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Stefan Lindén; [2020]
    Keywords : katt; bendensitet; benvolym; datortomografi; benvolym; ålder; kön; storlek; felin osteoartrit;

    Abstract : Bone volume and bone density may be affected by disease. Measurement of bone volume and bone density in cats could possibly be used as a tool in diagnosing osteoarthritis (OA), lameness and other diseases expected to affect bone density and bone volume. Measurement of bone volume is also useful when evaluating body composition. READ MORE

  4. 3. Extraction of Follow up Parameters of Bone Density Microwave Sensor from Post Craniotomy and Lower Extremity Trauma Rehabilitation Measurements

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : George George Thomas; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Longitudinal microwave based sensor systems facilitates frequent follow ups in scenarios where healing information is largely missing. An example is neonatalcraniotomy where Computerized Tomography (CT) information is available mostly before surgery and up to three years after that. READ MORE

  5. 4. Development of an Upconverting Nanoparticles Quantum Yield Measurement System

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

    Author : Meng Li; [2016]
    Keywords : UCNPs; upconverting nanoparticles; QY; quantum yield; fluorescence; luminescence; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Fluorescence imaging is a growing biomedical technique; it can be used to localize the luminescent biomarkers inside the tissue. Lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are promising luminescent probes for multiple applications in biophotonics. They allow acquiring autofluorescence-free recordings with high spatial resolution. READ MORE

  6. 5. Direction estimation on 3D-tomography images of jawbones

    University essay from Sektionen för Informationsvetenskap, Data– och Elektroteknik (IDE)

    Author : Yuri Mazeyev; [2008]
    Keywords : image analysis; computer aided implantology; computed tomography; edge detection; bone density measurement;

    Abstract : The present work expose a technique of estimation of optimal direction for placing dental implant. A volumetric computed tomography (CT) scan is used as a help of the following searches. The work offers criteria of the optimal implant placement direction and methods of evaluation on direction’s significance. READ MORE
