  1. 1. Phase Unwrapping MRI Flow Measurements

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen Vi3

    Author : Mio Liljeblad; [2023]
    Keywords : phase unwrapping; computer vision; cine MRI; NMR; flow measurements; velocity encoding; venc; energy minimization; magnetic resonance; cardiac MRI; sinotubuar junction; pulmonary artery; ascending descending aorta; laplacian algorithm; iterative graph cuts; IGC; sequential tree-reweighted message passing; TRW-S; velocity to noise ratio; VNR; retrospective wrapping; energy formulation;

    Abstract : Magnetic resonance images (MRI) are acquired by sampling the current of induced electromotiveforce (EMF). EMF is induced due to flux of the net magnetic field from coherent nuclear spins with intrinsic magnetic dipole moments. READ MORE

  3. 2. Psilocybin Induced Psychedelic Experiences : their Neural Mechanisms and Efficacy for Treating Depressive Disorders

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Linda Lindecrantz; Nicklas Villman; [2023]
    Keywords : psilocybin; depression; fMRI; systematic review; DMN;

    Abstract : The aim of this systematic review is to present the current literature on the therapeutic potential of the classic psychedelic compound psilocybin for depressive disorders and the neurocognitive mechanisms involved recorded with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the electronic databases Web of Science, Scopus and Medline EBSCO using a Boolean search string containing the keywords psilocybin, depression, fMRI, MRI and PET.

  4. 3. Effects of reconstruction parameters on the image quality and quantification of PET images from PET/MRI and PET/CT systems

    University essay from

    Author : Ali Amena Hussain; [2022-03-09]
    Keywords : Medical physics; PET CT; PET MRI; OSEM; BPL; NEMA IQ; positron emission tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; computed tomography; ordered Subset Expectation Maximization; The Bayesian Penalized Likelihood;

    Abstract : Aim: To study how reconstruction parameters affect the positron emission tomography (PET) image quality and quantitative results for the different lesion to background radioactivity ratios in three different PET systems. Introduction: Multimodality imaging that combines magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) with a PET system can produce medical images containing both functional and anatomical information.

  5. 4. Neuroplasticity induced bymeditation practices : A systematic review

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Gergana Doinova; [2022]
    Keywords : meditation; neuroplasticity; fMRI; MRI; wellbeing;

    Abstract : Meditation has in recent decades received attention mainly for its health benefits in western society, not least in the field of neuroscience. Researchers are frequently exploring the link between plasticity in the brain, and the practice of meditation. READ MORE

  6. 5. Structural and Functional Brain Changes due to Pregnancy and Early Postpartum Period: A Systematic Review

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Sanne Lövgren; [2022]
    Keywords : pregnancy; brain; structural; functional;

    Abstract : A big part of the female population experience pregnancy and giving birth. Evidence from animal studies indicates numerous adaptations in the brain throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period. The effects on the human brain are not as well studied, which is problematic due to the complexity of comparing species. READ MORE
