  1. 1. Evaluation of a Novel Reconstruction Framework for Gamma Knife Cone-Beam CT - The Impact of Scatter Correction and Noise Filtering on Image Quality and Co-registration Accuracy

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Ida Hägnestrand; [2023]
    Keywords : Gamma Knife; Cone-beam computed tomography; Image quality; Image reconstruction; Co-registration; Contrast; Uniformity; Spatial resolution; Scatter correction; Wiener filter; Noise filter; Patient positioning; Stereotactic radiosurgery; Gammakniv; Strålkniv; Cone-Beam Computed Tomography; Bildkvalitet; Bildrekonstruktion; Co-registrering; Kontrast; Uniformitet; Spatial upplösning; Spridningskorrigering; Wienerfilter; Brusfilter; Stereotaktisk strålkirurgi;

    Abstract : The Gamma Knife is a non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery system used for treatments of deep targets in the brain. Accurate patient positioning is needed for precise radiation delivery to the target. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Prediction of flue gas properties using artificial intelligence : Application of supervised machine learning by utilization of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy on solid biofuels

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Bashe Abdirahman Hussein; Emran Samimi; [2022]
    Keywords : Artificial Intelligence; Machine learning; Near-Infrared spectroscopy; Solid biofuels; Fuel element; Flue gas composition; CCS;

    Abstract : This degree project studies implementation and comparison of different AI models to predict (1) solid biofuel elements including carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen as well as moisture content, ash content, and higher heating value (HHV) of the fuel and (2) flue gas compositions such as concentration of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen, nitrogen oxides, and water content using near-infrared spectroscopy and chemometric approaches. The study executes these predictions by simulating the operation of a combined heat and power plant (CHP) that is equipped with carbon capture and storage (CCS). READ MORE

  5. 4. Real-time characterization of fuel by Near-Infrared spectroscopy : Quantitative measurements of moisture content, ash content, heating value, and elemental compositions in solid biofuel mixtures

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Kajsa Edlund; Ali Ahmad Shahnawazi; [2021]
    Keywords : NIR; spectroscopy; solid biofuel mixtures; moisture content; ash content; heating value; elemental composition; boiler; CHP pant; CCS; CO2; emissions; NIR; spektroskopi; fasta biobränsleblandningar; fukthalt; ask innehåll; värmevärde; elementär komposition; panna; kraftvärmeverk; CCS; CO2; utsläpp;

    Abstract : The global energy demand supplies mainly from fossil fuels, which is neither sustainable nor environmentally friendly and aims to global warming. Therefore, both more investments in renewable energy sources such as bioenergy are required, as well as new technologies such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) to handle the emissions from existing combined heat and power (CHP) plants.

  6. 5. Quantification of I-131 Activity from Gamma Camera Images of Thyroid Cancer Patients

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Frida Westerbergh; [2019]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND: Radioiodine (131I) has been used in thyroid cancer treatments for many years, and has demonstrated good results with regards to disease management. Radioiodine therapy is however partially empirical, as not very much is known concerning radiation dosimetry. READ MORE
