1. Evaluation of a Novel Reconstruction Framework for Gamma Knife Cone-Beam CT - The Impact of Scatter Correction and Noise Filtering on Image Quality and Co-registration Accuracy
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : The Gamma Knife is a non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery system used for treatments of deep targets in the brain. Accurate patient positioning is needed for precise radiation delivery to the target. READ MORE

2. Respiratory Motion Correction in PET Imaging: Comparative Analysis of External Device and Data-driven Gating Approaches
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is pivotal in medical imaging but is prone to artifactsfrom physiological movements, notably respiration. These motion artifacts both degradeimage quality and compromise precise attenuation correction. READ MORE

3. Predictive MR Image Generation for Alzheimer’s Disease and Normal Aging Using Diffeomorphic Registration
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Alzheimer´s Disease (AD) is the most prevalent cause of dementia, signifying a progressive and degenerative brain disorder that causes cognitive function deterioration including memory loss, communication difficulties, impaired judgment, and changes in behavior and personality. Compared to normal aging, AD introduces more profound cognitive impairments and brain morphology changes. READ MORE

4. Quantification and Detection of Motion Artifacts in Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is a non-invasive method for assessment of microcirculatory blood flow. The technique is based on analysis of speckle patterns to build 2D maps of perfusion with high spatial and temporal resolution. READ MORE

5. Validation of a method utilising MR images for dose planning of prostate cancer treatment : Validation of new coil technology applied on the pelvis region of healthy volunteers
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för hälsa, medicin och vårdAbstract : By generating a synthetic CT image (sCT) directly from the MRI, the electron density can be calculated, and the CT examination can be excluded from the patient flow minimizing the risk of uncertainties in the registration. Basing the radiation treatment process solely on MR images is called MRI-only and is beneficial for the patient as it can provide more accurate radiation treatment than the standardised treatment with fewer CT examinations and possibly a more cost-effective radiation treatment process.
