  1. 1. Determining the factors influencing In-House Implementation of Additive Manufacturing versus External Supplier Reliance in the Surgical Field : Quantitative Research

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Industriell teknik

    Author : Attivarapu Deepankar Reddy; Hemanth Ramesh Bhat; [2023]
    Keywords : 3DP in medical care; Intervention adaptation; in-house application of AM;

    Abstract : Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, has arisen as a revolutionary technology with the potential to revolutionize numerous industries, including the medical industry. It is a layer-by-layer manufacturing process used to create intricate structures. READ MORE

  3. 2. Imaging of the MTP joint: Developing an imaging protocol optimised for damage detection and 3D modelling

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Johanna Jacobsson; [2022]
    Keywords : computed tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; cone beam computedtomography; cartilage; osteochondral lesions; metatarsal phalangeal joint; datortomografi; magnetisk resonanstomografi; kon-datortomografi; brosk; kondrala skador; metatarsalphalangen-leden;

    Abstract : Walking without pain in the toe has a significant impact on a person’s well-being. Human mobility will be impaired in osteoarthritis of the big toe, and pain will occur during walking. By replacing the cartilage or bone injury with an individualised implant, osteochondral injuries to the knee and ankle can be treated. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. An Embedded System for Classification and Dirt Detection on Surgical Instruments

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

    Author : Guðmundur Hallgrímsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Neural Network; CNN; FPGA; PetaLinux; Winograd; High-level Synthesis; Neuralt nätverk; Faltade neurala nätverk; FPGA; PetaLinux; Winograd; Hög-nivå syntes;

    Abstract : The need for automation in healthcare has been rising steadily in recent years, both to increase efficiency and for freeing educated workers from repetitive, menial, or even dangerous tasks. This thesis investigates the implementation of two pre-determined and pre-trained convolutional neural networks on an FPGA for the classification and dirt detection of surgical instruments in a robotics application.

  6. 5. Sustainable Public Procurement as a Driver of Change : The Case of Surgical Instruments

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Företagsekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Dennis van den akker; Riad Samir Wakim; [2019]
    Keywords : Sustainable Public Procurement; Sustainability Practices; Buyer-Supplier Relationship; Surgical Instruments; Institutional Theory; Power Dependence Theory;

    Abstract : Although Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) is often seen as a powerful tool to drive sustainability across its supply chain, there is little available research in terms of how SPP actually influences its suppliers’ sustainability practices and what challenges are being faced during the process. In this study, we shed light on both issues by exploring SPP using Institutional and Power Dependence Theory in the context of the surgical instrument industry in Sweden. READ MORE
