1. 1. Radiotherapy treatment strategy for prostate cancer with lymph node involvement

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Amanda Östensson; [2023]
   Keywords : Radiotherapy; prostate cancer; lymph node; gold fiducial marker; multiple target;

   Abstract : Radiotherapy is a common and useful method for treating prostate cancer, often using gold fiducial markers in the prostate as guidance. However, when there is a high risk of lymph node involvement, the independent motion of volumes causes complications in patient positioning since there is a choice between position against the gold fiducial markers or the bone anatomy.

3. 2. 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

4. 3. Buffer optimisation for an improved cell separation using Acoustophoresis with Polystyrene particles, Jurkat, MCF-7 and DU-145 cell lines

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Lovisa Silversand; [2023]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Akustophores är rörelse av partiklar/celler under inverkan av ljud. Partikel- och cell separation är en applikation som kan utföras av akustophores. Detta är en viktig teknik eftersom den kan avslöja viktig information om sjukdomar och celler och därigenom förbättra valet av behandling inom sjukvården. READ MORE

6. 5. Deep Learning for Prostate Cancer Risk Prediction Through Image Analysis of Cells

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

   Author : Aditya Tejaswi; [2022]
   Keywords : Prostate Cancer; Multiple Instance Learning; Attention Scores; Cell Segmentation; Prostatacancer; Multiple Instance Learning; Uppmärksamhetspoäng; Cellsegmentering;

   Abstract : Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer occurring in men. Several types of research have been done using deep learning methods for the classification/prediction of cancer grades. In this thesis, the results of prostate cancer risk prediction, based only on the images of cells from the prostate tissues, have been analyzed. READ MORE
