  1. 11. Testing of micro-fluidic systems for Raman spectroscopic measurements on biological cells

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Malin Berger; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Pulmonary Artery Hypertension (PAH) is a condition that can affect people as a consequence of infections or diseases such as lung disease, high blood pressure or pneumonia. When afflicted by these diseases, low oxygen content in the lung tissue causes the pulmonary arterial soft muscle cells (PASMC) located in the walls of the pulmonary arteries to chronically swell up.

  3. 12. Atherosclerosis - A finite element study of plaque distribution and stability

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Paul Lidgard; [2017]
    Keywords : Atherosclerosis; Plaque; Stability; Finite element; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease of arteries. Cardiovascular diseases, of which atherosclerosis is an underlying mechanism, are the most common causes of death globally. The disease is characterised by lipids having penetrated the intima of the artery wall, accompanied by inflammation, fibrosis and endothelial hyperplasia. READ MORE

  4. 13. Assessment of Shear Wave Elastography Acoustic Output - a Simulation and Experimental Study

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Cristiana Golfetto; [2016]
    Keywords : Technology;

    Abstract : Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) is a medical imaging modality which is able to measure tissue stiffness through the speed of ultrasound-induced shear waves. Pre- vious studies have reviewed the safety aspects of clinical ultrasound, highlighting the harmlessness of the technique. READ MORE

  5. 14. Design and Fabrication of Ultrasound Phantoms to Identify the Actuator of Arterial Wall Longitudinal Movement

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Alice Widerström; Sandra Sjöstrand; [2015]
    Keywords : Cardiovascular; Longitudinal; Phantom; Ultrasound; Artery; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Trots att ett decennium har gått sedan artärernas longitudinella rörelse visades in vivo är bakgrunden till denna multifasiska rörelse fortfarande inte fastställd. Att trycket skulle kunna driva rörelsen har ledigt avfärdats. READ MORE

  6. 15. Multisensor Stress Monitoring For Non-Stationary Subjects

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik
