  1. 1. A CNN-based Analysis of Radiological Parameters from CT images : Improving Surgical Outcomes in Soft Tissue Sarcoma Patients with Pulmonary Metastases

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen Vi3

    Author : Klara Solander; [2023]
    Keywords : CNN; Convolutional Neural Network; AI; Artificial Intelligence; CT; STS; Soft Tissue Sarcoma; PM; Pulmonary Metastases;

    Abstract : Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients with pulmonary metastases (PM) experience a significant decrease in 5-year survival rates, ranging from 15 % to 50 % compared to 81 % without metastases. Despite this clinical challenge, there is a lack of consensus regarding the optimal treatment approach for PM in STS. READ MORE

  3. 2. Feasibility of quantitative 99mTc-DPD scintigraphy SPECT/CT for assessing the burden of ATTR cardiac amyloidosis

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Radiofysik

    Author : Sajad Kadhim Khalaf; [2023]
    Keywords : QSPECT; Amyloidosis; ATTR; LVMI; Recovery Coefficient; SUV; Calibration;

    Abstract : Background: Amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) cardiomyopathy is caused by the deposition of misfolded proteins, known as amyloid fibrils, in the myocardium. Quantitative Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (QSPECT) utilizing 99mTc-DPD scintigraphy has the potential to assess ATTR-suspected cardiac amyloidosis (CA). READ MORE

  5. 4. Development of patient-specific fetal head phantom for experimental evaluation of vacuum assisted delivery

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

    Author : Maria Pop; [2021]
    Keywords : Vacuum assisted delivery; Vacuum extractor device; Traction force; Vacuum pressure; Fetal head phantom; Ultrasound imaging; Sonomicrometry;

    Abstract : Vacuum assisted delivery (VAD) is a common procedure used in the final stage of labor in the situation of a difficult natural delivery. Since the only biomechanical studies concerning the clinical safe traction force were conducted during 70s using simplified models to mimic the fetal head, concerns remain regarding the side effects of this medical intervention when applying high levels of traction forces.
