1. 1. Development of application for game-like reinforcement of tomographic image interpretation skills

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen Vi3

   Author : Ruben Hedström; [2023]
   Keywords : gamification; medicine; computed tomography; programming;

   Abstract : Learning to identify anomalies in x-ray images is a time consuming and difficult task. Manyhours of looking at similar images to familiarize oneself with the images can feel daunting andunmotivating. This is why a game application where the user, in a challenging environment, canlearn while being adequately stimulated. READ MORE

3. 2. Exposure Monitoring and Dosimetry - Optimizing Radiation Protection in Interventional Cardiology

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik; Umeå universitet/Institutionen för strålningsvetenskaper

   Author : Amanda Pettersson; [2023]
   Keywords : Interventional cardiology; Radiation protection; Air kerma measurements; Radiation shielding; Projection angle;

   Abstract : During interventional cardiology (IC), medical staff are exposed to scattered ionizing radiation from the patient, potentially leading to various radiation-induced health effects. Therefore, shielding devices are routinely used to reduce occupational exposure during IC procedures. READ MORE

4. 3. CHARACTERIZATION AND EVALUATION OF A NIPAM POLYMER GEL MRI DOSIMETER SYSTEM

   University essay from

   Author : Christian Waldenberg; [2022-11-08]
   Keywords : Medical physics; Normoxic polymer gel dosimeter; NiPAM;

   Abstract : Purpose: The normoxic polymer gel dosimeter based on N-isopropyl acrylamide (NiPAM) is a promising full 3D-dosimeter with high spatial resolution and near tissue equivalency. However, limited work have been done in vestigating this dosimeter. The dose response and reproducibility of a NiPAM dosimeter was investigated. READ MORE

5. 4. UX Re-Design of an Image Management System in Healthcare

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; Lunds universitet/Certec - Rehabiliteringsteknik och Design

   Author : Josefin Andersson; [2022]
   Keywords : User experience; eHealth; Medical Imaging Technologies; Interaction Design; PCI labs; DICOM; PACS; SCAAR; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : As incidences of chronic diseases increase, the tools to diagnose, treat and monitor such conditions become more important. Medical imaging technologies, being one of these tools, still face challenges in safe and effective use. At the same time, poor design of medical devices causes errors that could be avoided using proper design methods. READ MORE

6. 5. EVALUATION OF RADIATION DOSES USING CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN ENDOVASCULAR AORTIC REPAIR AND SCOLIOSIS PROCEDURES

   University essay from

   Author : Louise Strandberg; [2021-04-06]
   Keywords : Medical physics; Cone beam CT; CT; EVAR; scoliosis; radiation dose; effective dose;

   Abstract : Purpose: The study includes the two areas, vascular surgery and orthopedics, and focuses on endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) and scoliosis procedures. EVAR procedures contribute to a high radiation dose to the patient and for scoliosis procedures, it is often young girls that are undergoing surgery. READ MORE
