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

   Author : Alicia Palmér; [2024]
   Keywords : Perfusion; Medical image analysis; Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Tofts model; Functional imaging; Optimization; T1 map; Perfusion; Medicinsk bildanalys; Dynamisk kontrastförstärkt magnetisk resonanstomografibildtagning; Tofts-modell; Funktionell bildbehandling; Optimering; T1 karta;

   Abstract : Cancer is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. When given optimal treatment, however, the risk of severe illness may greatly be reduced. Determining optimal treatment in turn requires evaluation of disease progression and response to potential, previous treatment. READ MORE

3. 2. Indocyanine-green fluorescence imaging to detect anastomotic insufficiency after esophagectomy

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

   Author : Love Kildetoft; [2024]
   Keywords : Fluorescence; Imaging; Indocyanine-green; ICG; Esophageal cancer; Physics; Photonics; Image Analysis; Blood Perfusion; Anastomotic leakage; Anastomotic insufficiency; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This research project is concerned with the development of simulation models and image analysis algorithms, as well as instrumentation for characterizing anastomotic leakages after a patient has undergone surgery for esophageal cancer. Anastomotic leakage is a high-incidence complication after esophagectomy, a surgical procedure for esophageal cancer. READ MORE

4. 3. Real-time Autofocus Algorithm in Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Abstract : Microcirculation is defined as the blood flow in the smallest blood vessels. Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is a full field imaging technique that provides instantaneous 2-D perfusion maps of illuminated tissues based on speckle contrast. READ MORE

5. 4. Optimization of b-value Acquisition and Parameter Estimation of Intravoxel Incoherent Motion Measurements

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

   Author : Ivan Rashid; [2023]
   Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

   Abstract : Radiotherapy is commonly used for cancer treatment, given to approximately half of all cancer patients in Sweden. Despite its widespread usage, there is currently no non-invasive and reliable imaging method that can identify regions of radiation resistance. READ MORE

6. 5. Total body perfusion imaging with 15O-water PET

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Anna Åhlström; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background Positron emission tomography scanners can be used together with the PET tracer 15O-water to image perfusion in the body. It has mainly been used to image perfusion in the brain and heart. The new total-body PET scanners have a larger axial field-of-view, making imaging of the whole body possible without moving the patient. READ MORE
