1. 6. Independent validation of a system for real-time localization of the prostate during motion tracking radiotherapy

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Klara Stefansson; [2024]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Intrafractional prostate motion during external beam radiotherapy of prostate tumors has been reported as a limiting factor in accurate treatment delivery. Technology for real-time image-guided radiotherapy has been introduced for tracking and for compensating prostate motion during treatment and could allow for reduced target margins. READ MORE

3. 7. Uncertainty Quantification in Deep Learning for Breast Cancer Classification in Point-of-Care Ultrasound Imaging

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

   Author : Marisa Wodrich; [2024]
   Keywords : Uncertainty quantification; Deep learning; Breast cancer classification; Trustworthy AI; Point-of-care ultrasound; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide with an estimate of 2.3 million new cases in 2020, and the number one cause of cancer-related deaths in women. READ MORE

4. 8. Virtual H&E Staining Using PLS Microscopy and Neural Networks

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

   Author : Sally Vizins; Hanna Råhnängen; [2024]
   Keywords : Deep learning; Virtual staining; Skin tissue; Hematoxylin Eosin; H E; Pathology; Carcinoma; Point light source illumination; Neural Networks; GANs; Generative adversarial networks; CNNs; Convolutional neural networks; Relativistic generative adversarial network; Unet; Digital microscopy; Attention-Unet; Dense-Unet; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : Histopathological examination, crucial in diagnosing diseases such as cancer, traditionally relies on time- and resource-consuming, poorly standardized chemical staining for tissue visualization. This thesis presents a novel digital alternative using generative neural networks and a point light source (PLS) microscope to transform unstained skin tissue images into their stained counterparts.

5. 9. Exploring adaptation of self-supervised representation learning to histopathology images for liver cancer detection

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Markus Jonsson; [2024]
   Keywords : Self-supervised learning; Representation learning; Computer vision;

   Abstract : This thesis explores adapting self-supervised representation learning to visual domains beyond natural scenes, focusing on medical imaging. The research addresses the central question: "How can self-supervised representation learning be specifically adapted for detecting liver cancer in histopathology images?" The study utilizes the PAIP 2019 dataset for liver cancer segmentation and employs a self-supervised approach based on the VICReg method. READ MORE

6. 10. Developing a protocol for 3D-printable bioink from decellularised porcine tissue

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Vendela Sandin; [2024]
   Keywords : Scaffold; Extracellular matrix; ECM; Bioink; Bioprinting; Collagen; Pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : T-cell administration via a scaffold is a promising tool for treatment of inoperable solid tumours. Traditional scaffold materials lack the complexity of the extracellular matrix (ECM) that cells normally grow in. An alternative is to instead use decellularised ECM (dECM) from biological tissue to create the scaffold. READ MORE
