  1. 1. Point Cloud Registration using both Machine Learning and Non-learning Methods : with Data from a Photon-counting LIDAR Sensor

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Datorseende

    Author : Maja Boström; [2023]
    Keywords : Point Cloud Registration; Machine Learning; Photon-counting LIDAR; Iterative Closest Point;

    Abstract : Point Cloud Registration with data measured from a photon-counting LIDAR sensor from a large distance (500 m - 1.5 km) is an expanding field. Data measuredfrom far is sparse and have low detail, which can make the registration processdifficult, and registering this type of data is fairly unexplored. READ MORE

  3. 2. Improving proton therapy planning with photon-counting spectral computed tomography

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Karin Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Proton therapy; Medical imaging; Computed Tomography; Protonterapi; Medicinsk avbildning; Datortomografi;

    Abstract : 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. 3. Characterization of Carotid Atherosclerotic Stenosis on Photon-Counting Computed Tomography

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : My Celander; [2023]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Introduction and aim Atherosclerotic stenosis located at the carotid bifurcation accounts for 10% − 20% of all Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA) and ischemic strokes, which occurs when Atherosclerotic stenosis, or so-called plaque, ruptures. The current method to evaluate carotid atherosclerotic stenosis is to measure the degree of stenosis. READ MORE

  5. 4. Deep Ring Artifact Reduction in Photon-Counting CT

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Konstantinos Liappis; [2022]
    Keywords : Photon¬counting; Spectral CT; Material Decomposition; Deep learning; Resnet; Ring artifact; Sinogram; Fotonräknande; Spektral datortomografi; Materialdekomposition; Djupinlärning; Resnet; Ringartefakt; Sinogram;

    Abstract : Ring artifacts are a common problem with the use of photon-counting detectors and commercial deployment rests on being able to compensate for them. Deep learning has been proposed as a candidate for tackling the inefficiency or high cost of traditional techniques. READ MORE

  6. 5. An Application of Channelized Hotelling Observer for Optimization of CT Scanning Protocols

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Yuting Wang; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Low contrast detection tasks like detecting a lesion in an image are of high importance in medical image diagnostics. If performed by human observers, the results are subjective, and the reproducibility is limited. READ MORE
