  1. 1. Visualizing osteonecrosis of jaws through neutrophil elastase : [11C]NES novel PET tracer

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för läkemedelskemi

    Author : Amanda Dannberg; Theodora Martinez; [2023]
    Keywords : [11C]NES; HNC; MRONJ; neutrophil granulocytes; ORN; osteonecrosis; PET CT; radiation therapy; [11C]NES; huvud- och halscancer; MRONJ; neutrofila granulocyter; ORN; osteonekros; PET CT; strålbehandling;

    Abstract : Radiation and medical drugs are used to fight head and neck cancer, but unfortunately in some cases these treatments cause development of other diseases and injuries. Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and medical-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) are dreaded late complications in jaws from radiation therapy and medical drugs and cause great suffering to those affected.

  3. 2. Respiratory Motion Correction in PET Imaging: Comparative Analysis of External Device and Data-driven Gating Approaches

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Nina Lindström Söraas; [2023]
    Keywords : PET CT; Tomographic reconstruction; Respiratory gating techniques; Image registration; Motion correction; PET CT; Tomografisk rekonstruktion; Gating tekniker; Bildregistrering; Rörelsekorrigering;

    Abstract : Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is pivotal in medical imaging but is prone to artifactsfrom physiological movements, notably respiration. These motion artifacts both degradeimage quality and compromise precise attenuation correction. READ MORE

  4. 3. TransRUnet: 2D Detection and Segmentation of Lymphoma Lesions in Full-Body PET-CT Images

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Lasse Stahnke; [2023]
    Keywords : Lymphoma; PET-CT; Deep Learning; CNN; Retina U-Net; Feature Pyramid Transformer; Detection; Segmentation; Lymfom; PET-CT; djupinlärning; CNN; Retina U-Net; Feature Pyramid Transformer; detektion; segmentering;

    Abstract : Identification and localization of FDG-avid lymphoma lesions in PET-CT image volumes is of high importance for the diagnosis and monitoring of treatment progress in lymphoma patients. This process is tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone, due to large image volumes and the heterogeneity of lesions. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effects of reconstruction parameters on the image quality and quantification of PET images from PET/MRI and PET/CT systems

    University essay from

    Author : Ali Amena Hussain; [2022-03-09]
    Keywords : Medical physics; PET CT; PET MRI; OSEM; BPL; NEMA IQ; positron emission tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; computed tomography; ordered Subset Expectation Maximization; The Bayesian Penalized Likelihood;

    Abstract : Aim: To study how reconstruction parameters affect the positron emission tomography (PET) image quality and quantitative results for the different lesion to background radioactivity ratios in three different PET systems. Introduction: Multimodality imaging that combines magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) with a PET system can produce medical images containing both functional and anatomical information.

  6. 5. Lesion Segmentation in 3D FDG-PET/CT Scans Using Deep Learning

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Adam Maen; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Drug development is an expensive, long and complex process for pharmaceutical companies all around the world. One way to make it more reliable is to evaluate the drug at its early stages, so the decision can be made to go forward or move to another drug, which is also a time-consuming and costly task to be done by human experts.
