  1. 1. Radiotherapy treatment strategy for prostate cancer with lymph node involvement

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Amanda Östensson; [2023]
    Keywords : Radiotherapy; prostate cancer; lymph node; gold fiducial marker; multiple target;

    Abstract : Radiotherapy is a common and useful method for treating prostate cancer, often using gold fiducial markers in the prostate as guidance. However, when there is a high risk of lymph node involvement, the independent motion of volumes causes complications in patient positioning since there is a choice between position against the gold fiducial markers or the bone anatomy.

  3. 2. Polymer gel dosimetry with MRI-readout for 3D dose verification - detector characteristics and clinical applications

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Thi Guldhill; [2023]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background & Purpose: Radiation therapy is an essential treatment for cancer patients with the ultimate goal to deliver radiation doses to the tumour with precision while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Treatment verification is crucial to ensure the accuracy of radiation delivery, for instance by measuring the radiation dose distribution. READ MORE

  4. 3. Överrörlighet hos ridhästar : en enkätstudie riktad till hästägare

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Malin Hjort; Moa Sandström; [2023]

    Abstract : Detta studentarbete handlar om hur rörliga varmblodshästar i Sverige anses vara enligt sina ägare. Det finns ingen definition för överrörlighet hos häst. Överrörlighet är något som på humansidan kan associeras med en sjukdom som heter EhlersDanlos syndrom och hos häst har en del sjukdomar liknats med denna. READ MORE

  5. 4. Concept Design and Prototyping of a Test Rig for In Vitro Hemolysis Assessment of Pulsatile Blood Pumps : A design with an Improved Blood Filling and De-airing Interface

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Yun-Ting Lee; [2022]
    Keywords : Hemolysis assessment; test rig design; mock loop; pulsatile flow blood pumps; blood filling and de-airing processes; Hemolysbedömning; testriggdesign; mock loop; pulserande blodpumpar; blodfyllning och avluftningsprocesser;

    Abstract : Hemolysis assessment of heart pumps is necessary to be carried out before progressing to clinical trials. Blood pump hemolysis assessment standards, such as ASTM F1830 and F1841, were initially based on continuous flow pumps and included the pulsatile flow pumps later in 2019. READ MORE

  6. 5. Quantification and Detection of Motion Artifacts in Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging

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

    Author : Dennis Amphan; [2022]
    Keywords : Laser speckle contrast imaging; Image registration; Motion artifacts; Detection;

    Abstract : Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is a non-invasive method for assessment of microcirculatory blood flow. The technique is based on analysis of speckle patterns to build 2D maps of perfusion with high spatial and temporal resolution. READ MORE
