1. An alignment tool for prosthetic components : A conceptual development
University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ, Avd. för rehabiliteringAbstract : Prosthetic alignment is the principle of the position and orientation and of the components in a lower limb prosthesis to achieve desirable biomechanical characteristics. Poor alignment of lower limb prostheses is related to decreased balance, knee and hip arthritis, and higher energy expenditure for the user. READ MORE

2. Evaluation of the role of ImplantMovement Analysis in diagnosing asepticloosening of total hip arthroplasty
University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaperAbstract : Introduction: Aseptic loosening is the most common indication for revision surgery of hipimplants. However, sometimes diagnosis from planar radiography is uncertain, makingdecision regarding revision surgery problematic. Implant Movement Analysis (IMA) is anewly introduced method of analysing uncertain aseptic loosening of hip prostheses. READ MORE

3. Application for Deriving 2D Images from 3D CT Image Data for Research Purposes
University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)Abstract : Karolinska University Hospital, Huddinge, Sweden, has long desired to plan hip prostheses with Computed Tomography (CT) scans instead of plain radiographs to save time and patient discomfort. This has not been possible previously as their current software is limited to prosthesis planning on traditional 2D X-ray images. READ MORE

4. Optimizing and method development for clinical MR imaging near metallic implants
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : Metallic hip prosthesis is an implant that gets more common and comes with problems like metallosis (inflammation due to metallic debris). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which is a superior method when imaging soft tissue (compared to other medical imaging techniques) is affected by metal implants and will result in a distorted image.

5. Automatic landmark detection on Trochanter Minor in x-ray images
University essay from Institutionen för systemteknikAbstract : During pre-operative planning for hip replacement, the choice of prosthesis can be aided by measurements in x-ray images of the hip. Some measurements can be done automatically but this require robust and precise image processing algorithms which can detect anatomical features. The Trochanter minor is an important landmark on the femoral shaft. READ MORE
