  1. 1. Semi-Automatic Analysis and Visualization of Cardiac 4D Flow CT

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för hälsa, medicin och vård

    Author : Anthony van Oosten; [2022]
    Keywords : 4D CT; CT; 4D flow; Flow Component Analysis; Singular value decomposition; left atrial appendage; LAA; CFD; 3 chamber view; computed tomography; maximum outflow velocity; volume rendered CT; semi-automatic; visualization; flow visualization; cardiac views; semi-automatic analysis; semi-automatic visualization; visualization of 4D flow;

    Abstract : The data obtained from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of blood flow in the heart is plentiful, and processing this data takes time and the procedure for that is not straightforward. This project aims to develop a tool that can semi-automatically process CFD simulation data, which is based on 4D flow computed tomography (CT) data, with minimal user input. READ MORE

  3. 2. Exploring Deep Learning Frameworks for Multiclass Segmentation of 4D Cardiac Computed Tomography

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för hälsa, medicin och vård

    Author : Norman Janurberg; Christian Luksitch; [2021]
    Keywords : Computed Tomography; Multiclass Segmentation; Image Segmentation; 4D; Deep Learning; MONAI; Unet; Cropping network; Multiaxis Segmentation;

    Abstract : By combining computed tomography data with computational fluid dynamics, the cardiac hemodynamics of a patient can be assessed for diagnosis and treatment of cardiac disease. The advantage of computed tomography over other medical imaging modalities is its capability of producing detailed high resolution images containing geometric measurements relevant to the simulation of cardiac blood flow.

  4. 3. ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AT KUMLA HEALTHCENTRE – ANTICOAGULANT TREATMENTAND SYMPTOMS

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Adam Jackson; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia affecting anestimated 3 % of the adult population in the western world. The prevalence of the diseaseincreases with increasing age, thought to be due to structural changes in the heart as a result ofageing, long-term hypertension, or organic heart disease. READ MORE
