  1. 1. Visualizing osteonecrosis of jaws through neutrophil elastase : [11C]NES novel PET tracer

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för läkemedelskemi

    Author : Amanda Dannberg; Theodora Martinez; [2023]
    Keywords : [11C]NES; HNC; MRONJ; neutrophil granulocytes; ORN; osteonecrosis; PET CT; radiation therapy; [11C]NES; huvud- och halscancer; MRONJ; neutrofila granulocyter; ORN; osteonekros; PET CT; strålbehandling;

    Abstract : Radiation and medical drugs are used to fight head and neck cancer, but unfortunately in some cases these treatments cause development of other diseases and injuries. Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and medical-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) are dreaded late complications in jaws from radiation therapy and medical drugs and cause great suffering to those affected.

  3. 2. Respiratory Motion Correction in PET Imaging: Comparative Analysis of External Device and Data-driven Gating Approaches

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Nina Lindström Söraas; [2023]
    Keywords : PET CT; Tomographic reconstruction; Respiratory gating techniques; Image registration; Motion correction; PET CT; Tomografisk rekonstruktion; Gating tekniker; Bildregistrering; Rörelsekorrigering;

    Abstract : 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

  4. 3. TransRUnet: 2D Detection and Segmentation of Lymphoma Lesions in Full-Body PET-CT Images

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Lasse Stahnke; [2023]
    Keywords : Lymphoma; PET-CT; Deep Learning; CNN; Retina U-Net; Feature Pyramid Transformer; Detection; Segmentation; Lymfom; PET-CT; djupinlärning; CNN; Retina U-Net; Feature Pyramid Transformer; detektion; segmentering;

    Abstract : Identification and localization of FDG-avid lymphoma lesions in PET-CT image volumes is of high importance for the diagnosis and monitoring of treatment progress in lymphoma patients. This process is tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone, due to large image volumes and the heterogeneity of lesions. READ MORE

  5. 4. Hypoxic Target Volume Determination in PET/CT Imaging : The Impact of Deformable Image Registration

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

    Author : Viktor Rosenberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Positron emission tomography; image registration; hypoxic tumour volume; dose escalation; tumour control probability;

    Abstract : Using a tailored dose distribution for personalized radiotherapy with the help of positron emission tomography (PET) might give an edge for successful tumour elimination. One of the main determinants for tumour radioresistance in several solid tumours has been investigated as hypoxia, including head and neck cancer (HNC). READ MORE

  6. 5. Quantification of cerebral blood flow with 15O-water PET : A comparison study between PET/CT and PET/MR and two different blood sampling instruments

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik; Umeå universitet/Diagnostisk radiologi

    Author : Amanda Eriksson; [2021]
    Keywords : Cerebral Blood Flow; CBF; oxygen-15-labelled water; PET CT; PET MR; Quantification of CBF; Image Derived Input Function; IDIF; Blood Sampled Input Function; BSIF; Arterial Input Function; AIF; Tracer Kinetic Modelling; Single Tissue Compartmental Model; 1TCM;

    Abstract : Cerebral blood flow quantification is a vital diagnostic tool for disease monitoring and used for diagnosing a variation of pathological conditions. The human brain requires roughly about 20 % of the total cardiac output to sustain normal functioning, hence the perfusion of blood is an important factor to deliver oxygenated blood. READ MORE
