  1. 1. Robustness Analysis of Perfusion Parameter Calculations

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Alicia Palmér; [2024]
    Keywords : Perfusion; Medical image analysis; Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Tofts model; Functional imaging; Optimization; T1 map; Perfusion; Medicinsk bildanalys; Dynamisk kontrastförstärkt magnetisk resonanstomografibildtagning; Tofts-modell; Funktionell bildbehandling; Optimering; T1 karta;

    Abstract : Cancer is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. When given optimal treatment, however, the risk of severe illness may greatly be reduced. Determining optimal treatment in turn requires evaluation of disease progression and response to potential, previous treatment. READ MORE

  3. 2. Image-driven simulation of brain tumors using a reaction-diffusion mathematical model

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Avdelningen för medicinsk teknik

    Author : Kristos Qiqi; [2023]
    Keywords : brain tumor; cancer; mathematical model; simulation; magnetic resonance images; hjärntumör; cancer; matematisk model; simulering; magnetresonanstomografi bilder;

    Abstract : Brain tumors pose a big challenge in the field of neuro-oncology. Gliomas are the largest subgroup. Magnetic resonance imaging is a non-invasive tool for detecting and characterizing these tumors. Mathematical models, such as the reaction-diffusion equation, can be used for understanding the intricate behavior of gliomas. READ MORE

  4. 3. Predicting Gastrointestinal Adverse Events in Dogs Treated with Chemotherapeutic Medication

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Emmie Andersdotter; [2023]
    Keywords : calprotectin; cancer; canine; chemotherapy; cytostatic medication; dog; gastrointestinal toxicity; gastrointestinal adverse events; gut microbiota; influential factors; questionnaire;

    Abstract : Despite significant advances in the treatment of cancer in canine patients, gastrointestinal toxicity still remains a relatively common finding after chemotherapeutic treatment. These adverse events may cause a fundamental reduction in the patient’s quality of life. READ MORE

  5. 4. Optimization of b-value Acquisition and Parameter Estimation of Intravoxel Incoherent Motion Measurements

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Ivan Rashid; [2023]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Radiotherapy is commonly used for cancer treatment, given to approximately half of all cancer patients in Sweden. Despite its widespread usage, there is currently no non-invasive and reliable imaging method that can identify regions of radiation resistance. READ MORE

  6. 5. A Machine Learning Approach to Skin Cancer Delineation on Photoacoustic Imaging

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Alice Fracchia; [2023]
    Keywords : Skin cancer; carcinoma; photoacoustic imaging; ultrasound imaging; machine learning; dimensionality reduction; sandpiles algorithm; active contour; multilayer perception MLP ; convolutional neural networks CNN ; autoencoder; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Skin cancer is a growing public health concern due to its prevalence among the population. Current clinical procedures require high invasiveness and multiple surgeries, which are responsible for patient discomfort and high medical expenses. READ MORE
