  1. 21. Predicting Chronic Kidney Disease using a multimodal Machine Learning approach

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

    Author : Aakruti Mishra; Navaneeth Puthiyandi; [2023]
    Keywords : Chronic kidney disease; Multimodal approach; ROCKET; Random Forest; XGBoost; MIMIC-III database; Data imbalance; Temporal and static modalities; Soft voting;

    Abstract : Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a common and dangerous health condition that requires early detection and treatment to be effective. Current diagnostic methods are time-consuming and expensive. In this research, we hope to construct a predictive model for CKD utilizing a combination of time series and static variables for early detection of CKD. READ MORE

  4. 23. Feasibility of quantitative 99mTc-DPD scintigraphy SPECT/CT for assessing the burden of ATTR cardiac amyloidosis

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Radiofysik

    Author : Sajad Kadhim Khalaf; [2023]
    Keywords : QSPECT; Amyloidosis; ATTR; LVMI; Recovery Coefficient; SUV; Calibration;

    Abstract : Background: Amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) cardiomyopathy is caused by the deposition of misfolded proteins, known as amyloid fibrils, in the myocardium. Quantitative Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (QSPECT) utilizing 99mTc-DPD scintigraphy has the potential to assess ATTR-suspected cardiac amyloidosis (CA). READ MORE

  5. 24. Establishment of a deep learning algorithm for dosimetry of radiopharmaceuticals

    University essay from

    Author : Dennis Lipnicevic; [2022-01-13]
    Keywords : Medical physics; automated segmentation; dosimetry; kidney; nuclear medicine dosimetry; deep learning; convolutional neural network;

    Abstract : Purpose: The aim of this study was to introduce a volumetric convolutional neural network for segmentation of the kidneys in SPECT images and to apply it in the dosimetry of radiopharmaceuticals of this organ, in order to decrease segmentation time and to standardize the segmentation of the kidneys. Method: Three networks were trained using two network architectures and a total of 216 retrospectively collected images from patients that underwent imaging procedures at Sahlgrenska University Hospital between 2009 and 2018.

  6. 25. Battery field data-oriented investigation of cell capacity spread and its impacts

    University essay from

    Author : Muhammad Bilal; [2022]
    Keywords : Cell Capacity; Electric Vehicles; Algorithm; Current Profile; Voltage;

    Abstract : In this research thesis, a new data-centric approach is used to determine the individual cell capacities in Li-ion batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs). This approach could also be extended to batteries for static energy storage applications. READ MORE
