  1. 1. Development of an MRI-compatible Multi-compartment Phantom for Dynamic Studies

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Jonas Ström Seez; Frederick Holmer Fann; [2020]
    Keywords : Dynamic studies; Dynamic phantom; Multi-compartment analysis; MRI compatible; PET; SPECT; Gamma camera; Nuclear medicine; Dynamiska studier; Dynamisk fantom; Multi-kammar analys; MRI kompatibel; PET; SPECT; Gammakamera; Nuklearmedicin;

    Abstract : Medical imaging based on radioactive tracers exposes the patient to radiation. For this reason, a phantom is preferably used for non-clinical studies such as routine quality assurance and research. The aim of this project was to design, build and test a multi-compartment phantom to be used in dynamic SPECT/CT, PET/CT and PET/MRI studies. READ MORE

  3. 2. Artifacts handling and DBS electrodes localization in the CT/MRI brain images

    University essay from Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Amir Motevakel; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the DBS surgical treatment  the location of the electrodes has direct influence on the success rate of treatment.  Considering the fact that MRI imaging is not compatible with metal, post-operative CT images should be used to locate the electrodes on pre-operative MRI images which contain information about soft tissues.

  5. 4. In vivo knee cartilage quality assessment by direct quantification of glycosaminoglycans through chemical exchange saturation transfer (gagCEST)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Simon Kindvall; [2012]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Introduction: Non-invasive imaging of human articular cartilage is an important tool in understanding, and thus allowing the development of effective treatments for, osteoarthritis; a disease responsible of impaired movement of millions of otherwise healthy individuals. Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) have been attributed with important biomechanical properties, vital for the function of the articular cartilage. READ MORE
