  1. 21. A study of susceptibility-weighted MRI including a comparison of two different implementations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Stefanie Eriksson; [2011]
    Keywords : MRI; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Susceptibility Weighted Imaging is an MRI- and post-processing technique that utilize the phase information from the MR signal to enhance the contrast in areas with different susceptibility than surrounding tissue in T2*-weighted images. This technique is becoming more and more important as a clinical tool. READ MORE

  2. 22. Aid or Nuisance? Swedish Police Officers' Perceptions of Volunteer Activities

    University essay from Psykologiska institutionen

    Author : Helena Hermansson; [2010]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Studies on volunteerism have traditionally focused on the perspective of volunteers in a health sector context. This study aims to contribute to the existing volunteerism literature by exploring paid staff’s perceptions of volunteers. READ MORE

  3. 23. Dosimetric and geometric evaluation of MRI as the only imaging modality for the radiotherapy treatment process of localized prostate cancer

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Johan Sjöberg; [2010]
    Keywords : Strålterapi; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Introduction MRI provides better soft tissue contrast than CT and is an invaluable tool in the radiotherapy treatment process. The gold standard today is image fusion of MRI and CT data where targets and organs-at-risk are delineated on the MRI data and the dose calculation is performed on the CT data. READ MORE

  4. 24. Optimization for automatic whole brain volumetry An MPRAGE image contrast study of a 12- and 32 channel head coil at 3T

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Love Nordin; [2009]
    Keywords : MRI; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Introduction: Regional and global brain volumes are of great interest in many different research projects, not least in Alzheimer’s research. The purpose of this project is to optimize the MPRAGE sequence for automatic and repeatable segmentation of human brain tissue. READ MORE

  5. 25. Denoising of Complex MRI Data by Wiener-like Filtering in the Wavelet Domain - Application to High b-value Diffusion Weighted Imaging

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Adnan Bibic; [2006]
    Keywords : MRI; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Noise is a well-known problem in many imaging modalities. In magnitude magnetic resonance images, obtained by quadrature detection, the associated Rician distribution of noise constitutes a further complication. This type of noise is especially problematic at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regions. READ MORE
