1. 1. Classifying femur fractures using federated learning

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Statistik och maskininlärning

   Author : Hong Zhang; [2024]
   Keywords : Atypical femur fracture; Federated Learning; Neural Network; Classification;

   Abstract : The rarity and subtle radiographic features of atypical femoral fractures (AFF) make it difficult to distinguish radiologically from normal femoral fractures (NFF). Compared with NFF, AFF has subtle radiological features and is associated with the long-term use of bisphosphonates for the treatment of osteoporosis. READ MORE

3. 2. Suspensions of Calcium Phosphate : Interactions of milk proteins to hydroxyapatite

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Ying Chen; [2023]
   Keywords : Calcium fortification; Milk proteins interactions; Colloid chemistry; Food technology; engineering and nutrition; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

   Abstract : Capolac is a product containing hydroxyapatite (HA) from Arla Food Ingredients, to be used for calcium fortification. The adsorption of casein and whey proteins onto the Capolac was investigated, aiming to solve the sedimentation problem of this insoluble calcium phosphate. READ MORE

4. 3. Evaluation of the DXA radiation environment at Sahlgrenska University Hospital

   University essay from

   Author : Saga Söderholm; [2022-05-18]
   Keywords : Medical physics; DXA; DEXA; Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; Bone mineral density;

   Abstract : Purpose: The aims of this work were to evaluate the radiation environment in the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) rooms at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, estimate personnel doses, determine legal requirements for DXA personnel, examine the operators’ view on radiation safety and develop material with dose information for patients and operators. Theory: DXA is a low dose X-ray modality mainly used in osteoporosis examinations, for which it is considered the reference technique. READ MORE

5. 4. Dielectric Characterization of Bone Using Ultra Wide Band Microwave Transmission Probe

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

   Author : Abhinav Singh; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The body has the capability of reabsorbing and generating new bone throughout life. Bone remains healthy as long it maintains the equal amount of old and new bones. Bone loss is occurred when the old bone absorbed is more and new bone created is less. Osteoporosis is a very common bone disease among men and women in their later years. READ MORE

6. 5. Optimization of an advanced algorithm for bone imaging

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Adam Mrozek; [2022]
   Keywords : osteoporosis; optimization; programming; engineering; X-ray; bone; mineral density; speed; faster; projection; MATLAB; C ; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Fracture risk in osteoporosis is increased and osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease and treatment is expensive. Osteoporosis is diagnosed by measuring Bone Mineral Density (BMD), which does not consider other factors such as bone geometry or architecture. READ MORE
