11. Designing k-Space Filters to Improve Spatiotemporal Resolution with Sector-Wise Golden Angle (SWIG)
University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystemAbstract : The aim of this thesis is to design and evaluate k-space weighting filters for simultaneously improving the spatial and temporal resolution of cardiovascular MRI, with the ultimate goal of improving the accuracy of quantitative flow measurements, which are important for diagnosis and follow-up of heart dysfunction. Two different k-space filters were implemented and evaluated retrospectively to already acquired data. READ MORE

12. The value of cardiac MRI texture analysis in patients with clinically suspected myocarditis
University essay fromAbstract : Purpose: The aim of this proof-of-concept study was to assess the diagnostic value of texture analysis (TA) based on conventional balanced steady-state-free precession (bSSFP), late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and T2-weighted cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) in patients with clinically suspected myocarditis. Method: A retrospective cohort study was performed based on 30 patients who underwent a comprehensive CMRI due to clinically suspected myocarditis between 2013 and 2018 at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital: 10 patients with clinical signs and positive myocardial biomarkers (Troponin T, indicating myocardial injury) as well as positive CMRI findings according to Lake Louise Criteria (LLC; group 1), 10 patients with clinical signs and positive myocardial biomarkers but negative CMRI findings according to LLC (group 2), and 10 patients with clinical signs but both negative myocardial biomarkers as well as CMRI findings according to LLC (control group).
