  2. 2. Uncertainty Estimation in Radiation Dose Prediction U-Net

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

    Author : Frida Skarf; [2023]
    Keywords : Radiation dose prediction models; U-net; quantile regression; Monte Carlo Dropout; epistemic uncertainty estimation; aleatoric uncertainty estimation; Stråldospredicerande modeller; U-net; kvantilregression; Monte Carlo Dropout; epistemisk osäkerhetsskattning; aletorisk osäkerhetsskattning;

    Abstract : The ability to quantify uncertainties associated with neural network predictions is crucial when they are relied upon in decision-making processes, especially in safety-critical applications like radiation therapy. In this paper, a single-model estimator of both epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties in a regression 3D U-net used for radiation dose prediction is presented. READ MORE

  3. 3. Generation of a new ADAPT library for stability improvement

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Sumant Yogesh Salphale; [2023]
    Keywords : Phage display; CEACAM5; EpCAM; Trop2; ADAPT; ABD; protein engineering; cancer detection; Fag-display; CEACAM5; EpCAM; Trop2; ADAPT; ABD; proteinteknik; cancerdetektion;

    Abstract : Under senare år har målinriktad terapi varit ett växande område inom cancerterapi som en mer målinriktad behandling än kemoterapi. Dessa behandlingar baseras främst på antikroppsbaserade läkemedel som är ganska stora och komplexa, vilket ökar den totala kostnaden för behandlingen. READ MORE

  4. 4. Influencing factors of posttraumatic growth in breast cancer patients : A descriptive literature review

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för vårdvetenskap

    Author : Caizhen Huang; Yueyan Qian; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : WHO(2015) claimed that breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in developed andless developed countries. The number of women diagnosed is much higher in high-income countries likedeveloped countries than in low- and middle-income countries like developing countries, in part becauseearly detection programs are better in developed countries than in developing countries, and becausedeveloping countries lack health care resources and infrastructure, which makes breast cancer treatment achallenge(Taurin & Alkhalifa, 2020).

  5. 5. Automated HER2 Scoring of Breast Cancer Tissue using Upconverting Nanoparticle Images

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Adam Belfrage; Alexander Wik; [2022]
    Keywords : HER2-scoring; image analysis; interpretability; digital pathology; computer aided pathology; whole slide imaging; ASCO-guidelines; singular value decomposition; shape models; Bayesian classification; Biology and Life Sciences; Medicine and Health Sciences; Technology and Engineering; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Computer aided pathology is becoming more and more of a requirement within pathology due to increased demand of individualised treatments and personalised medicine. Because of the advance of digital pathology in recent years, where a high resolution camera acquire images of microscope slides, pathologists can now assess tissue samples in digital images. READ MORE
