  1. 1. Increasing Proactive Healthcare: An Automated Approach Within Screening Process For Breast Cancer

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Theresia Lundkvist; [2024]
    Keywords : Healthcare Processes; Automation; Design Thinking;

    Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common cancer and 8 700 individuals in Sweden were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021. Thanks to improved diagnostic methods and more effective treatment, nine out of ten women who develop breast cancer survive. READ MORE

  3. 2. Robustness Analysis of Perfusion Parameter Calculations

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

    Author : Alicia Palmér; [2024]
    Keywords : Perfusion; Medical image analysis; Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Tofts model; Functional imaging; Optimization; T1 map; Perfusion; Medicinsk bildanalys; Dynamisk kontrastförstärkt magnetisk resonanstomografibildtagning; Tofts-modell; Funktionell bildbehandling; Optimering; T1 karta;

    Abstract : Cancer is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. When given optimal treatment, however, the risk of severe illness may greatly be reduced. Determining optimal treatment in turn requires evaluation of disease progression and response to potential, previous treatment. READ MORE

  4. 3. Self-Supervised Learning for Tabular Data: Analysing VIME and introducing Mix Encoder

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Max Svensson; [2024]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Self-supervised learning; AI; Physics; Medicine; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : We introduce Mix Encoder, a novel self-supervised learning framework for deep tabular data models based on Mixup [1]. Mix Encoder uses linear interpolations of samples with associated pretext tasks to form useful pre-trained representations. READ MORE

  5. 4. Virtual H&E Staining Using PLS Microscopy and Neural Networks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Sally Vizins; Hanna Råhnängen; [2024]
    Keywords : Deep learning; Virtual staining; Skin tissue; Hematoxylin Eosin; H E; Pathology; Carcinoma; Point light source illumination; Neural Networks; GANs; Generative adversarial networks; CNNs; Convolutional neural networks; Relativistic generative adversarial network; Unet; Digital microscopy; Attention-Unet; Dense-Unet; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Histopathological examination, crucial in diagnosing diseases such as cancer, traditionally relies on time- and resource-consuming, poorly standardized chemical staining for tissue visualization. This thesis presents a novel digital alternative using generative neural networks and a point light source (PLS) microscope to transform unstained skin tissue images into their stained counterparts.

  6. 5. Exploring adaptation of self-supervised representation learning to histopathology images for liver cancer detection

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Markus Jonsson; [2024]
    Keywords : Self-supervised learning; Representation learning; Computer vision;

    Abstract : This thesis explores adapting self-supervised representation learning to visual domains beyond natural scenes, focusing on medical imaging. The research addresses the central question: "How can self-supervised representation learning be specifically adapted for detecting liver cancer in histopathology images?" The study utilizes the PAIP 2019 dataset for liver cancer segmentation and employs a self-supervised approach based on the VICReg method. READ MORE
