  1. 1. Assessment of hip deformities during childhood: a combined approach of Machine Learning and Finite Element Analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Klara Eriksson; Jonna Fahrman; [2022]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; Hip joint; Cartilage; Osteoarthritis; Machine learning; Finite element analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that will cause pain and stiffness in the joint if not treated. One cause of early osteoarthritis in the hip joint is pediatric hip deformities. Hip deformities can occur in different stages of childhood and cause the bones to be misshapen or the hip joint to be dislocated. READ MORE

  3. 2. Deformable image registration using anatomical landmarks in tubular structures

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Jenny Wingqvist; [2021]
    Keywords : Medical image analysis; radiation therapy; deformable image registration; anatomical landmarks; bronchial tree; vascular tree;

    Abstract : Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world, but advances in research and development of treatment methods is constantly ongoing to reduce the number of deaths and the amount of suffering. One of many approaches is radiation therapy, which uses high doses of radiation to kill tumors. READ MORE

    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition especially for people with diabetes, obesity or women who are pregnant. Diagnosing CTS has primarily been performed using electroneuronography. READ MORE

  5. 4. Organ Segmentation Using Deep Multi-task Learning with Anatomical Landmarks

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

    Author : Gabriel Carrizo; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This master thesis is the study of multi-task learning to train a neural network to segment medical images and predict anatomical landmarks. The paper shows the results from experiments using medical landmarks in order to attempt to help the network learn the important organ structures quicker. READ MORE

  6. 5. Automatic Detection of Anatomical Landmarks in Three-Dimensional MRI

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Datorseende

    Author : Hannes Järrendahl; [2016]
    Keywords : Quantitative 3D MRI; Machine learning; Medical image processing; Morphon image registration; 3D Haar features; Random regression forests;

    Abstract : Detection and positioning of anatomical landmarks, also called points of interest(POI), is often a concept of interest in medical image processing. Different measures or automatic image analyzes are often directly based upon positions of such points, e.g. in organ segmentation or tissue quantification. READ MORE
