  1. 1. Predicting True Sepsis and Culture-positive Sepsis in Intensive Care Unit with Machine Learning Techniques

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Zeyuan Wu; [2024]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Diagnosis of Sepsis; XGBoost; Logistic Regression; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Sepsis, a serious medical condition often leading to patients requiring intensive care, has prompted numerous scientists to employ mathematical techniques to aid in its diagnosis. This thesis uses logistic regression and a machine learning technique, XGBoost, to predict true sepsis (as opposed to sepsis mimics) and culture-positive sepsis (among true sepsis) in critical care using blood test results, physiological measurements and other patient characteristics.

    Author : Alva Rampe; Linea Holström; [2024]
    Keywords : Artificial Intelligence; Medical Device; HealthTech; Innovation Barriers; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : With aging populations, unequal access to care, and shortages of staff, healthcare systems today are facing many challenges. Technology advancements, with artificial intelligence (AI) in particular, have been one of the main drivers of innovation in multiple industries. READ MORE

  4. 3. Independent validation of a system for real-time localization of the prostate during motion tracking radiotherapy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Klara Stefansson; [2024]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Intrafractional prostate motion during external beam radiotherapy of prostate tumors has been reported as a limiting factor in accurate treatment delivery. Technology for real-time image-guided radiotherapy has been introduced for tracking and for compensating prostate motion during treatment and could allow for reduced target margins. READ MORE
