  1. 11. Feasibility of single time point dosimetry during 177Lu-PSMA-617 treatments of prostate cancer

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Elias Nilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Introduction: Standard dosimetry methods for radionuclide therapies re- quire imaging at multiple time points post injection. An alternative method has been presented in the literature that uses previously acquired pharma- cokinetic data to create so-called dose factors. READ MORE

  3. 12. Validation of a method utilising MR images for dose planning of prostate cancer treatment : Validation of new coil technology applied on the pelvis region of healthy volunteers

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för hälsa, medicin och vård

    Author : Tova Rung; [2022]
    Keywords : Synthetic CT; Air coil;

    Abstract : By generating a synthetic CT image (sCT) directly from the MRI, the electron density can be calculated, and the CT examination can be excluded from the patient flow minimizing the risk of uncertainties in the registration. Basing the radiation treatment process solely on MR images is called MRI-only and is beneficial for the patient as it can provide more accurate radiation treatment than the standardised treatment with fewer CT examinations and possibly a more cost-effective radiation treatment process.

  4. 13. Developing an AI based approach to histological tissue type classification

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Sanjith Bonela; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Histological tissue type classification is a profound research topic. However, most of the research in this area is confined to either to differentiate cancerous tissue from non-cancerous tissue or to classify connective, epithelial, muscleand nervous tissue rather than classifying an organ specific tissue from another.

  5. 14. Deep Learning for Prostate Cancer Risk Prediction Through Image Analysis of Cells

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

    Author : Aditya Tejaswi; [2022]
    Keywords : Prostate Cancer; Multiple Instance Learning; Attention Scores; Cell Segmentation; Prostatacancer; Multiple Instance Learning; Uppmärksamhetspoäng; Cellsegmentering;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer occurring in men. Several types of research have been done using deep learning methods for the classification/prediction of cancer grades. In this thesis, the results of prostate cancer risk prediction, based only on the images of cells from the prostate tissues, have been analyzed. READ MORE

  6. 15. COMPARISON OF MULTI-CRITERIA OPTIMIZATION IN TWO DIFFERENT TREATMENT PLANNING SYSTEMS

    University essay from

    Author : Anna Lindström; [2021-05-10]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Multi-criteria optimization; Pareto front; volumetric modulated arc therapy; head and neck cancer; prostate cancer;

    Abstract : Purpose: The purpose with this study was to compare multi-criteria optimization (MCO) for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) treatment plans in two different treatment planning systems. Theory: When performing treatment planning prior to radiation therapy it is important to prioritize between absorbed dose to target and absorbed dose to organs at risk (OAR). READ MORE
