  1. 1. Robustness Analysis of Perfusion Parameter Calculations

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Alicia Palmér; [2024]
    Keywords : Perfusion; Medical image analysis; Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Tofts model; Functional imaging; Optimization; T1 map; Perfusion; Medicinsk bildanalys; Dynamisk kontrastförstärkt magnetisk resonanstomografibildtagning; Tofts-modell; Funktionell bildbehandling; Optimering; T1 karta;

    Abstract : Cancer is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. When given optimal treatment, however, the risk of severe illness may greatly be reduced. Determining optimal treatment in turn requires evaluation of disease progression and response to potential, previous treatment. READ MORE

  3. 2. Identifying Graph Characteristics in Growing Vascular Networks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad beräkningsvetenskap

    Author : Christopher Finn Plummer; [2024]
    Keywords : Anigogenesis; Vascular Networks; Network Science;

    Abstract : One of the ways that a vascular network grows is through the process of angiogenesis, wherebya new blood vessel forms as a branch from an existing vessel towards an area which isstimulating vascular growth. Due to the demands for nutrients and waste transport, growingtumour cells will access the surrounding vascular network by inducing angiogenesis. READ MORE

  4. 3. Indocyanine-green fluorescence imaging to detect anastomotic insufficiency after esophagectomy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

    Author : Love Kildetoft; [2024]
    Keywords : Fluorescence; Imaging; Indocyanine-green; ICG; Esophageal cancer; Physics; Photonics; Image Analysis; Blood Perfusion; Anastomotic leakage; Anastomotic insufficiency; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This research project is concerned with the development of simulation models and image analysis algorithms, as well as instrumentation for characterizing anastomotic leakages after a patient has undergone surgery for esophageal cancer. Anastomotic leakage is a high-incidence complication after esophagectomy, a surgical procedure for esophageal cancer. READ MORE

  6. 5. Methodological development of human telomere sequencing with the Oxford Nanopore Technologies

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Jennifer Arnqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Human DNA is protected with telomeres, which consist of the repetitive DNA-sequence TTAGGG. A 3’-overhang folds back and in combination with the shelterin complex protects the ends of the DNA. READ MORE
