1. 1. 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

3. 2. Validation of a method utilising MR images for dose planning of prostate cancer treatment : Validation of new coil technology applied on the pelvis region of healthy volunteers

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

   Author : Tova Rung; [2022]
   Keywords : Synthetic CT; Air coil;

   Abstract : By generating a synthetic CT image (sCT) directly from the MRI, the electron density can be calculated, and the CT examination can be excluded from the patient flow minimizing the risk of uncertainties in the registration. Basing the radiation treatment process solely on MR images is called MRI-only and is beneficial for the patient as it can provide more accurate radiation treatment than the standardised treatment with fewer CT examinations and possibly a more cost-effective radiation treatment process.

4. 3. Correlation between PET/MRI image features andpathological subtypes for localized prostate cancer

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Jens Lindahl; [2021]
   Keywords : MRI; PET; Image features; Image processing; Localized prostate cancer; Pathological subtypes; MR; PET; Bildegenskaper; Bildbehandling; Lokal prostata cancer; Patologiska undertyper;

   Abstract : Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Sweden. Patients with the condition have a good prognosis in general and most cases can be treated. READ MORE

5. 4. Towards non-invasive Gleason grading of prostate cancer using diffusion weighted MRI

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Pierre Hillergren; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancer diagnosis in men. This project aimed to help in characterization and treatment planning of prostate cancer by producing a Gleason grading probability based on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). READ MORE

6. 5. Needle Navigation for Image Guided Brachytherapy of Gynecologic Cancer

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

   Author : Alireza Mehrtash; [2019]
   Keywords : Image Guided Surgery; Surgical Navigation System; Needle Navigation system; Brachytherapy; MRI; 3D Slicer;

   Abstract : In the past twenty years, the combination of the advances in medical imaging technologies and therapeutic methods had a great impact in developing minimally invasive interventional procedures. Although the use of medical imaging for the surgery and therapy guidance dates back to the early days of x-ray discovery, there is an increasing evidence in using the new imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic reso- nance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound in the operating rooms.
