  1. 31. ELECTRICAL BIOIMPEDANCE CEREBRAL MONITORING : A Study of Cerebral Impedance Variation

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

    Author : Shiva Mokhberi; [2016]
    Keywords : Electrical Bioimpedance Spectroscopy; Stroke; Hemorrhage; Ischemia; Biomedical Instrumentation; Non-invensive Monitoring;

    Abstract : Stroke is amongst the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Today diagnosis of Stroke is restricted to fixed imaging facilities which do not provide a rapid diagnostic. A portable device which could provide a non invasive assessment of stroke would therefore decrease the time of diagnosis and increase the chance of survival. READ MORE

  3. 32. Real-time Head Motion Tracking for Brain Positron Emission Tomography using Microsoft Kinect V2

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

    Author : Eleni Tsakiraki; [2016]
    Keywords : Microsoft Kinect sensor v2; Brain Positron Emission Tomography; head movements; Siemens High-Resolution Research Tomograph; Siemens ECAT HR PET system; Microsoft HD face; Matlab; head tracking accuracy; one-sample T-tests;

    Abstract : The scope of the current research work was to evaluate the potential of the latest version of Microsoft Kinect sensor (Kinect v2) as an external tracking device for head motion during brain imaging with brain Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Head movements constitute a serious degradation factor in the acquired PET images. READ MORE

  4. 33. Alternativ och komplement till medicinsk behandling av epilepsi hos hund

  5. 34. Positive reinforcement training for laboratory mice

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Maija Cederwall; [2014]
    Keywords : Mouse; Positive reinforcement; Training; Procedures;

    Abstract : The mouse (Mus musculus) is the most commonly used mammal in biomedical research and can easily be restrained by both hand and by a device. Restraining animals causes stress that not only decreases the animal’s wellbeing, but may also influence the research results. READ MORE

  6. 35. Artifacts handling and DBS electrodes localization in the CT/MRI brain images

    University essay from Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Amir Motevakel; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the DBS surgical treatment  the location of the electrodes has direct influence on the success rate of treatment.  Considering the fact that MRI imaging is not compatible with metal, post-operative CT images should be used to locate the electrodes on pre-operative MRI images which contain information about soft tissues.
