  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

  3. 2. Validation of Simultaneous T1 and T2 Mapping Using Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting in Self-Constructed Phantoms : An Analysis of the Reproducibility and Accuracy

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Sasithon Meesan; [2023]
    Keywords : Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting cMRF ; Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging CMR ; Simultaneous T1 and T2 Mapping; Validation; Accuracy; Reproducibility; Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting cMRF ; Kardiovaskulär Magnetresonans CMR ; Simultant T1 och T2 Parametrisk-Karaktärisering; Validering; Noggrannhet; Reproducerbarhet;

    Abstract : Quantitative cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has gained traction within both the clinical and research field due to high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. Cardiac magnetic resonance fingerprinting (cMRF) is a novel approach introduced to address the limitation associated with evaluation of multiparametric quantitative CMR. READ MORE

  4. 3. Improving proton therapy planning with photon-counting spectral computed tomography

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Karin Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Proton therapy; Medical imaging; Computed Tomography; Protonterapi; Medicinsk avbildning; Datortomografi;

    Abstract : Proton radiation therapy is an alternative to conventional photon radiation therapy, which accounts for the majority of radiation treatments today. The rationale for using protons in radiation therapy lies in their dose deposition properties; photons deposit a radiation dose inversely proportional to the energy, and therefore tissue depth, while protons exhibit a sharp Bragg peak when traversing matter.

  5. 4. Evaluation of intrafractional motion for patients receiving whole brain radiotherapy in open-faced immobilisation masks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Sara Falk; [2023]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Purpose/Background Patients receiving whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) today are treated with an immobilisation mask which fully covers their face and therefore might be experienced as uncomfortable and claustrophobic. In recent years, optical surface scanning (OSS) systems have been implemented for patient positioning and real-time motion monitoring [1]. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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/Fysik

    Author : Ida Hägnestrand; [2023]
    Keywords : Gamma Knife; Cone-beam computed tomography; Image quality; Image reconstruction; Co-registration; Contrast; Uniformity; Spatial resolution; Scatter correction; Wiener filter; Noise filter; Patient positioning; Stereotactic radiosurgery; Gammakniv; Strålkniv; Cone-Beam Computed Tomography; Bildkvalitet; Bildrekonstruktion; Co-registrering; Kontrast; Uniformitet; Spatial upplösning; Spridningskorrigering; Wienerfilter; Brusfilter; Stereotaktisk strålkirurgi;

    Abstract : 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
