1. Indocyanine-green fluorescence imaging to detect anastomotic insufficiency after esophagectomy
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/FörbränningsfysikAbstract : This research project is concerned with the development of simulation models and image analysis algorithms, as well as instrumentation for characterizing anastomotic leakages after a patient has undergone surgery for esophageal cancer. Anastomotic leakage is a high-incidence complication after esophagectomy, a surgical procedure for esophageal cancer. READ MORE

2. Validation of Simultaneous T1 and T2 Mapping Using Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting in Self-Constructed Phantoms : An Analysis of the Reproducibility and Accuracy
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : Quantitative cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has gained traction within both the clinical and research field due to high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. Cardiac magnetic resonance fingerprinting (cMRF) is a novel approach introduced to address the limitation associated with evaluation of multiparametric quantitative CMR. READ MORE

3. Improving proton therapy planning with photon-counting spectral computed tomography
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : Proton radiation therapy is an alternative to conventional photon radiation therapy, which accounts for the majority of radiation treatments today. The rationale for using protons in radiation therapy lies in their dose deposition properties; photons deposit a radiation dose inversely proportional to the energy, and therefore tissue depth, while protons exhibit a sharp Bragg peak when traversing matter.

4. Evaluation of intrafractional motion for patients receiving whole brain radiotherapy in open-faced immobilisation masks
University essay from Lunds universitet/SjukhusfysikerutbildningenAbstract : Purpose/Background Patients receiving whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) today are treated with an immobilisation mask which fully covers their face and therefore might be experienced as uncomfortable and claustrophobic. In recent years, optical surface scanning (OSS) systems have been implemented for patient positioning and real-time motion monitoring [1]. READ MORE

5. Evaluation of Computer Tomography based Cancer Diagnostics with the help of 3D Printed Phantoms and Deep Learning
University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)Abstract : Computed x-ray tomography is one of the most common medical imaging modalities andas such ways of improving the images are of high relevance. Applying deep learningmethods to denoise CT images has been of particular interest in recent years. READ MORE
