1. 1. Indocyanine-green fluorescence imaging to detect anastomotic insufficiency after esophagectomy

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

   Author : Love Kildetoft; [2024]
   Keywords : Fluorescence; Imaging; Indocyanine-green; ICG; Esophageal cancer; Physics; Photonics; Image Analysis; Blood Perfusion; Anastomotic leakage; Anastomotic insufficiency; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This research project is concerned with the development of simulation models and image analysis algorithms, as well as instrumentation for characterizing anastomotic leakages after a patient has undergone surgery for esophageal cancer. Anastomotic leakage is a high-incidence complication after esophagectomy, a surgical procedure for esophageal cancer. READ MORE

4. 3. Exposure Monitoring and Dosimetry - Optimizing Radiation Protection in Interventional Cardiology

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik; Umeå universitet/Institutionen för strålningsvetenskaper

   Author : Amanda Pettersson; [2023]
   Keywords : Interventional cardiology; Radiation protection; Air kerma measurements; Radiation shielding; Projection angle;

   Abstract : During interventional cardiology (IC), medical staff are exposed to scattered ionizing radiation from the patient, potentially leading to various radiation-induced health effects. Therefore, shielding devices are routinely used to reduce occupational exposure during IC procedures. READ MORE

5. 4. Simulations and modeling of light propagation in biological tissue

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Lunds Tekniska Högskola

   Author : Emma Hjörneby; [2023]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The GASMAS technique has previously proven useful for examining and measuring the oxygen concentration in the lungs of preterm infants. GASMAS can distinguish absorption by one gas from the bulk absorption of the surrounding media, and can provide an instant, non-invasive and non-destructive way of examining lungs, and diagnosing dangerous conditions such as pneumothorax.

6. 5. Evaluation of the iterative kilovoltage cone-beam computed tomography reconstruction method for the Varian TrueBeam system

   University essay from

   Author : Tamana Haidari; [2022-03-18]
   Keywords : Medical physics; FDK algorithm; iterative algorithm; CBCT; image quality;

   Abstract : Introduction: Radiotherapy is used to treat patients with various types of cancer, where linear accelerators produce the radiation beam used for the treatment. Before each treatment fraction, the patient needs to be correctly positioned according to the treatment plan. READ MORE
