  1. 6. EVALUATION OF RADIATION DOSES USING CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN ENDOVASCULAR AORTIC REPAIR AND SCOLIOSIS PROCEDURES

    University essay from

    Author : Louise Strandberg; [2021-04-06]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Cone beam CT; CT; EVAR; scoliosis; radiation dose; effective dose;

    Abstract : Purpose: The study includes the two areas, vascular surgery and orthopedics, and focuses on endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) and scoliosis procedures. EVAR procedures contribute to a high radiation dose to the patient and for scoliosis procedures, it is often young girls that are undergoing surgery. READ MORE

  3. 7. Pre-planning of Individualized Ankle Implants Based on Computed Tomography - Automated Segmentation and Optimization of Acquisition Parameters

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Matilda Engström Messén; Elvira Moser; [2021]
    Keywords : osteochondral lesions of the talus; computed tomography; U-net; convolutional neural network; dice coefficient; fotled; ledbrosk; osteochondral lesion of the talus; datortomografi; U-net; convolutional neuralt nätverk; dicekoefficient;

    Abstract : The structure of the ankle joint complex creates an ideal balance between mobility and stability, which enables gait. If a lesion emerges in the ankle joint complex, the anatomical structure is altered, which may disturb mobility and stability and cause intense pain. READ MORE

  4. 8. A security analysis in a life science environment : a case study

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Keywords : applied physics;

    Abstract : Gallium nitride (GaN) based high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) are used in a wide variety of areas, such as 5G, automotive, aeronautics/astronautics and sensing elds ranging from chemical, mechanical, biological to optical applications. Owing superior material properties, the GaN based HEMTs are especially useful in harsh operation environments e. READ MORE

  6. 10. Information seeking behaviour of postgraduate students from Eduardo Mondlane University, Medicine Faculty

    University essay from

    Author : Irzelinda Cangy Mussa; Rui José Antonio; [2020]
    Keywords : Electronic resources; Information behaviour; information seeking; information need; information literacy;

    Abstract : This study aims to analyse the information seeking behaviour of postgraduate students from Eduardo Mondlane University, Medicine Faculty, in order to extend the knowledge about the students’ interaction with study-related information as well as their perception in relation to the electronic resources available through UEM library, and the challenges they encounter seeking and retrieving information. To carry out the research, a qualitative and quantitative approach was used based on combination with the semi-structured interview and online survey as data collection instruments. READ MORE
