    Keywords : Adherence; Cross sectional study; Heart failure; Hospitalization-frequency; Non-adherence; Symptom burden;

    Abstract : Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the degree of adherence and non-adherence to treatment regimen in the population with heart failure, as well as to explore relationships to symptom burden and hospitalization-frequency. Introduction: Heart failure – a chronic disease with a somber prognosis and high mortality, incidence and prevalence increasing world-wide. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of deep learning image reconstruction for brain- and abdominal CT - A visual grading characteristics study

    University essay from

    Author : Tuva Skarp; [2022-05-04]
    Keywords : Medical physics; CT; Computed tomography; imaging; Deep learning image reconstruction;

    Abstract : Computed tomography (CT) is a common medical imaging method today. There are different ways of reconstructing the images from a CT examination. The standard method is the filtered back projection (FBP). READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of whole-body bone scans performed using a gamma camera with Cadmium Zinc Telluride detector

    University essay from

    Author : Victor Asp; [2022-01-13]
    Keywords : Medical physics; whole-body bone scans; gamma camera; Cadmium Zinc Telluride detector;

    Abstract : The bone scan is a common nuclear medicine imaging procedure that is mainly used for evaluating several oncological patient groups. A radioactive tracer, 99mTc -labelled diphosphonate, is injected intravenously and accumulates in the skeleton. The distribution of the tracer in the body is measured with a gamma camera 3 hours post-injection. READ MORE
