  1. 1. Evaluation of margins and plan robustness for proton therapy of unilateral tonsil cancer.

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik; Umeå universitet/Institutionen för strålningsvetenskaper

    Author : Josefine Grefve; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During proton therapy both target volumes and healthy tissue, including organs at risk (OARs), receives radiation dose. Thus, radiotherapy is a trade-off between good target coverage and OAR sparing. For protons, most of the dose is deposited right before it is stopped, a phenomenon termed the Bragg peak. READ MORE

  5. 4. FE-Analysis of Stabilization of Cervical Spine Fracture in Ankylosing Spondylitis.

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Inst.)

    Author : Viktor Lison Almkvist; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), or Bechterew’s disease, is an inflammatory rheumaticdisease that through the formation of additional bone tissue in the spine eventuallyleads to the complete fusion of the vertebrae, in effect turning the spine into one longbone. Due to the reduced flexibility of the spine with the long lever arms, spinalfractures in AS-patients are relatively common even after minor trauma. READ MORE
