  1. 1. Designing k-Space Filters to Improve Spatiotemporal Resolution with Sector-Wise Golden Angle (SWIG)

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Jonas Ström Seez; [2022]
    Keywords : Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging CMR ; k-Space Filter; Sector Wise Golden-angle SWIG ; Kardiovaskulär Magnetisk Resonans Tomografi CMR ; k-rumsfilter; Sektorsvis Gyllene Vinkel SWIG ;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to design and evaluate k-space weighting filters for simultaneously improving the spatial and temporal resolution of cardiovascular MRI, with the ultimate goal of improving the accuracy of quantitative flow measurements, which are important for diagnosis and follow-up of heart dysfunction. Two different k-space filters were implemented and evaluated retrospectively to already acquired data. READ MORE

  3. 2. Black-Blood Phase Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging using Stimulated Echo Acquisition Mode : Pulse Sequence Development

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Reenalyn Borromeo; [2020]
    Keywords : MRI; phase contrast; black blood; STEAM; myocardial motion; MRI; magnetisk resonanstomografi; faskontrast; blodutsläckning; STEAM; myokardiell rörelse;

    Abstract : Doppler echocardiography is the conventional method for measurement of myocardial motion. However, the same clinical parameters can be measured with phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). READ MORE

  4. 3. Dödsorsaker och överlevnad hos svenska katter diagnosticerade med hypertrofisk kardiomyopati

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Sanna Andersson; [2014]
    Keywords : hypertrofisk kardiomyopati; katt; överlevnad; ultraljud; prognos; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; cat; survival; echocardiography; prognosis;

    Abstract : Hypertrofisk kardiomyopati, HCM, är kattens vanligaste hjärtmuskelsjukdom. Katter med HCM kan leva länge men ett ansenligt antal drabbas av hjärtsvikt, arteriell tromboembolism (ATE) eller plötslig död. Sjukdomen karakteriseras av en icke kongenital koncentrisk hypertrofi utan dilatation av vänster kammare. READ MORE

  5. 4. Is high flow oxygen treatment beneficial or detrimental for normoxic patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for first time ST-elevation myocardial infarction; an interim analysis of the SOCCER-study.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Läkarutbildningen

    Author : Joakim Olofsson; Martin Galeano; [2012]
    Keywords : PCI; STEMI; normoxic; oxygen; acyte myocardial infarction; MI; AMI; infarct size; troponin; WMSI; prehospital; ambulance; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background: Routine oxygen therapy has for a long time been used as part of the standard treatment for myocardial infarction (MI), despite a lack of randomized controlled trials (RCT) to support the use. A recent Cochrane review on oxygen treatment for normoxic MI patients found no evidence supporting the use, rather the trend pointed towards possible harm for oxygen. READ MORE

  6. 5. Automatic registration of myocardial perfusion images

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Daniel Svensson; [2012]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Myocardial perfusion is an indicator of heart health that can be used to locate damaged areas of the heart. It can be measured by an imaging modality such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). When measuring myocardial perfusion in a living human we must align images over time to correct for motion caused by breathing. READ MORE
