1. 11. Image Segmentation and Object Identification in Cancer Tissue Slides from Fluorescence Microscopy

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen Vi3

   Author : Sebastian Eriksson; Fredrik Forsberg; [2023]
   Keywords : image analysis; cancer research; fluorescent microscopy; image segmentation; bildanalys; cancerforskning; fluorescensmikroskopi; bildsegmentering;

   Abstract : In cancer research, there is a need to make accurate spatial measurements in multi-layered fluorescence microscopy images. Researchers would like to measure distances in and between biological objects such as nerves and tumours, to investigate questions which includes if nerve distribution in and around tumours can have a prognostic value in cancer diagnostics.

3. 12. Mathematical modelling simulation data and artificial intelligence for the study of tumour-macrophage interaction

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Jaysmita Khanindra Chaliha; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The study explores the integration of mathematical modelling and machine learning to understand tumour-macrophage interactions in the tumour microenvironment. It details mathematical models based on biochemistry and physics for predicting tumour dynamics, highlighting the role of macrophages. READ MORE

4. 13. Radiotherapy treatment strategy for prostate cancer with lymph node involvement

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Amanda Östensson; [2023]
   Keywords : Radiotherapy; prostate cancer; lymph node; gold fiducial marker; multiple target;

   Abstract : Radiotherapy is a common and useful method for treating prostate cancer, often using gold fiducial markers in the prostate as guidance. However, when there is a high risk of lymph node involvement, the independent motion of volumes causes complications in patient positioning since there is a choice between position against the gold fiducial markers or the bone anatomy.

5. 14. Emphysema Classification via Deep Learning

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Olov Molin; [2023]
   Keywords : Deep learning; emphysema; CNN;

   Abstract : Emphysema is an incurable lung airway disease and a hallmark of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). In recent decades, Computed Tomography (CT) has been used as a powerful tool for the detection and quantification of different diseases, including emphysema. The use of CT comes with a potential risk: ionizing radiation. READ MORE

6. 15. Optimization of Radiotherapy Treatment Plans Based on Monte Carlo Dose Computations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

   Author : Ludvig Håkansson; [2023]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Treatment planning plays a vital role in providing good treatment to cancer patients. In order to reach an adequate treatment plan, the algorithm used for simulating the dose in the patient must model the reality well. READ MORE
