  1. 16. Evaluating aperture shape controller (ASC) in modulated radiation treatments

    University essay from

    Author : Vilma Andrén Cederholm; [2023-09-28]
    Keywords : Medical physics;

    Abstract : To decrease aperture complexity, the aperture shape controller (ASC) is a recently introduced function in Eclipse external beam planning (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, USA). ASC works within the photon optimizer, minimizing distances between adjacent leaf tips of the MLC. READ MORE

  3. 17. A Decentralised Application for Storing Electronic Health Records using Blockchain Technology

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Edenia Isaac; Hampus Jernkrook; NIls Johnsson; Christopher Molin; Wendy Pau; David Zamanian; [2023-03-03]
    Keywords : electronic health records; EHR; medical records; blockchain; Ethereum; IPFS; decentralised applications; Web3.Storage; information exchange; patientjournaler; blockkedja; decentraliserade applikationer; informationsdelning;

    Abstract : With the systems currently used in healthcare, medical records are often centrally stored in local databases or cloud services and managed by each individual healthcare provider. Due to this, the information exchange between healthcare providers is often limited. READ MORE

  4. 18. Monte Carlo evaluation of static and dynamic 6FFF treatments - Evaluation of dose distributions calculated with AAA, Acuros XB, and Collapsed Cone (RayStation and DoseCheck)

    University essay from

    Author : Alma Blombäck; [2023-02-23]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Monte Carlo; 6FFF; AAA; Acuros XB; DoseCheck; RayStation; DVH evaluation; flattening filter free;

    Abstract : There are several benefits to removing the standard flattening filter and using so-called flattening filter free (FFF) treatments in external radiation therapy with photons. The main advantage is the possibility of significantly shortening the treatment time, de spite this FFF is not widely used yet. READ MORE

  5. 19. Implementations and evaluation of machine learning algorithms on a microcontroller unit for myoelectric prosthesis control

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Jonathan Benitez; [2023]
    Keywords : microcontroller; deep learning; artificial neural network; electromyography; myoelectric prosthesis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Using a microcontroller unit to implement different machine learning algorithms for myoelectric prosthesis control is currently feasible. Still there are hardware and timing constraints that need to be accounted for. READ MORE

  6. 20. Uncertainty Estimation in Radiation Dose Prediction U-Net

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Frida Skarf; [2023]
    Keywords : Radiation dose prediction models; U-net; quantile regression; Monte Carlo Dropout; epistemic uncertainty estimation; aleatoric uncertainty estimation; Stråldospredicerande modeller; U-net; kvantilregression; Monte Carlo Dropout; epistemisk osäkerhetsskattning; aletorisk osäkerhetsskattning;

    Abstract : The ability to quantify uncertainties associated with neural network predictions is crucial when they are relied upon in decision-making processes, especially in safety-critical applications like radiation therapy. In this paper, a single-model estimator of both epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties in a regression 3D U-net used for radiation dose prediction is presented. READ MORE
