  1. 1. Quantitative susceptibility mapping of the knee: A comparison of approaches for addressing fatty tissue

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Cornelia Säll; [2023]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background/purpose Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is an MRI-based post processing technique to evaluate the magnetic susceptibility, χ, of human tissue using phase data. While brain imaging has been the most common application, other areas have also raised interest. READ MORE

  3. 2. Three-Dimensional Cartilage CultureModel – Cell Culture and Analysis ofChondrogenesis

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Mario Zambrana; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Articular cartilage injuries are a major challenge in orthopedic surgery. Articular cartilage has a low metabolic activity, and it is avascular. Therefore, when injuries occur cartilage has a limited capacity to fully regenerate. READ MORE

  4. 3. Development of a subject specific 3D knee finite element model to estimate the effect of weight loss on cartilage biomechanics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Julius Dahlgren; [2022]
    Keywords : biomechanics; knee; cartilage; subject-specific; finite element; FE; FEM; weight loss; osteoarthritis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal disorder that degrades articular cartilage and is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Overweight has been considered a major risk factor of knee OA, and it is known that weight loss may reduce the risk of knee OA. READ MORE

  5. 4. Pre-planning of Individualized Ankle Implants Based on Computed Tomography - Automated Segmentation and Optimization of Acquisition Parameters

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Matilda Engström Messén; Elvira Moser; [2021]
    Keywords : osteochondral lesions of the talus; computed tomography; U-net; convolutional neural network; dice coefficient; fotled; ledbrosk; osteochondral lesion of the talus; datortomografi; U-net; convolutional neuralt nätverk; dicekoefficient;

    Abstract : The structure of the ankle joint complex creates an ideal balance between mobility and stability, which enables gait. If a lesion emerges in the ankle joint complex, the anatomical structure is altered, which may disturb mobility and stability and cause intense pain. READ MORE

  6. 5. Improving Knee Cartilage Segmentation using Deep Learning-based Super-Resolution Methods

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Max Kim; [2021]
    Keywords : Deep learning; knee cartilage; segmentation; super-resolution; Djupinlärning; knäbrosk; segmentering; superupplösning;

    Abstract : Segmentation of the knee cartilage is an important step for surgery planning and manufacturing patient-specific prostheses. What has been a promising technology in recent years is deep learning-based super-resolution methods that are composed of feed-forward models which have been successfully applied on natural and medical images.
