  3. 12. T cell reactivity to melanoma Tumor-Associated Antigens before and after surgical removal of metastases

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Fríða Björk Gunnarsdóttir; [2017]
    Keywords : melanoma; tumor-associated antigens; cytokines;

    Abstract : Background: Melanoma the most immunogenic cancer type and metastatic melanoma has poor prognosis. Currently, there are hardly any peripheral blood biomarkers that allow for identification of patient’s prognosis or survival. READ MORE

  4. 13. Convolutional Neural Networks for Classification of Prostate Cancer Metastases Using Bone Scan Images

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Lewis Belcher; [2017]
    Keywords : Theoretical Physics; Machine Learning; Supervised Learning; Artificial Neural Networks; Convolutional Neural Networks; Image Classification; Deep Learning; Prostate Cancer; Metastatic Disease; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used to classify directly on bone scan images in two medical tasks: classifying anterior / posterior pose, and classifying bone scan hotspots as metastatic / non-metastatic in patients with prostate cancer and suspected metastatic disease. The networks trained produce highly accurate results in both tasks and current methods are outperformed for all tested body regions when classifying metastatic / non-metastatic hotspots. READ MORE

  5. 14. Classification in Bone Scintigraphy Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Johnny Dang; [2016]
    Keywords : machine learning; deep learning; neural networks; convolutional neural networks; artificial neural network; ANN; CNN; bone scintigraphy; bone scan; prostate cancer; bone metastasis; bone scan index; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The main goal of this thesis is to design and implement a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify whether hotspots in bone scintigraphy images represent cancer metastases, caused by prostate cancer, or some other physiological process. A side task was included, where another CNN was designed and trained to classify whether a bone scintigraphy image image is acquired from the front of the patient (anterior) or from the back (posterior).

  6. 15. Magnetomotive Ultrasound Imaging to Estimate Tissue Elastic Properties - Experiments and Simulations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Malin Eriksson; Stina Andåker; [2015]
    Keywords : PVA; Polyvinylalcohol; MMUS; Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle; SPIO-nanoparticle; Magnetomotive ultrasound; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Magnetomotoriskt ultraljud är en ny bildgivande teknik som kombinerar vanligt ultraljud med ett pålagt tidsvarierande magnetfält för att åstadkomma en detekterbar rörelse i vävnad. Genom att injicera magnetiska nanopartiklar i området man vill undersöka kan på så sätt viktig information tillgodogöras. READ MORE
