  1. 1. Correlation between PET/MRI image features andpathological subtypes for localized prostate cancer

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Jens Lindahl; [2021]
    Keywords : MRI; PET; Image features; Image processing; Localized prostate cancer; Pathological subtypes; MR; PET; Bildegenskaper; Bildbehandling; Lokal prostata cancer; Patologiska undertyper;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Sweden. Patients with the condition have a good prognosis in general and most cases can be treated. READ MORE

  3. 2. Quantification of cerebral blood flow with 15O-water PET : A comparison study between PET/CT and PET/MR and two different blood sampling instruments

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik; Umeå universitet/Diagnostisk radiologi

    Author : Amanda Eriksson; [2021]
    Keywords : Cerebral Blood Flow; CBF; oxygen-15-labelled water; PET CT; PET MR; Quantification of CBF; Image Derived Input Function; IDIF; Blood Sampled Input Function; BSIF; Arterial Input Function; AIF; Tracer Kinetic Modelling; Single Tissue Compartmental Model; 1TCM;

    Abstract : Cerebral blood flow quantification is a vital diagnostic tool for disease monitoring and used for diagnosing a variation of pathological conditions. The human brain requires roughly about 20 % of the total cardiac output to sustain normal functioning, hence the perfusion of blood is an important factor to deliver oxygenated blood. READ MORE

  4. 3. MRAC capable phantom fluids : A study of hybrid phantom fluids for attenuation correction in PET/MRI and PET/CT

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Dag Nygren; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background. Classification based PET/MRI attenuation correction methods utilize a PET/CT derived method of identifying tissues and assigning them attenuation values. Phantoms for PET/MRI generally use theoretical attenuation maps.Aim. READ MORE

  5. 4. Differences in tumor volume for treated glioblastoma patients examined with 18F-fluorothymidine PET and contrast-enhanced MRI

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Karolina Hedman; [2020]
    Keywords : PET MRI; positron emission tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; brain tumor; glioblastoma; image segmentation; adaptive thresholding; feature extraction; radiotracer; gadolinium; image processing; image analysis;

    Abstract : Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and malignant primary brain tumor. It is a rapidly progressing tumor that infiltrates the adjacent healthy brain tissue and is difficult to treat. Despite modern treatment including surgical resection followed by radiochemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy, the outcome remains poor. READ MORE

  6. 5. Natural sugar as an MRI contrast agent for brain cancer detection using chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging at 3T

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Anina Seidemo; [2018]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Hjärntumörer utgör cirka 2,5% av alla cancerdiagnoser i Sverige (2013) och femårsöverlevnaden är cirka 50%. Hjärntumörer diagnostiseras med bildtagningstekniker såsom datortomografi (CT), positronemissionstomografi (PET) och magnetkamera (MR). READ MORE
