  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. Exploring older adults' interaction with a gamified memory task. A pilot study to assess usability of the 'Brain Blossom' game

    University essay from Institutionen för tillämpad informationsteknologi

    Author : Hanna Persson; Vida William-Olsson; [2023-11-20]

    Abstract : The research employed a qualitative methodology to gather insights regarding the performance, as well as the emotional and physiological reactions of older adults engaging with the "Brain Blossom" game over three sessions. This was achieved by utilizing self-reported information, encompassing tools such as the Self Assessment Manikin scale and usability experience (UX) questionnaires. READ MORE

  4. 3. Regulatory Driven Clustering of Single-Cell Data; Clustering of single-cell RNA sequencing from glioblastoma with a novel mathematical method

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för matematiska vetenskaper

    Author : Kári Kristjánsson; [2023-08-08]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Single-cell RNA sequencing has arisen as an important method to explore the gene expression of biological cells, including cancer cells. In this study, we deployed a computational algorithm known as ScRegClust to dissect single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from brain tumors. READ MORE
