  1. 6. Buffer modification: A case study with polystyrene beads, DU145-, and MCF7 cell lines

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Olivia Hansson Rengbrandt; [2023]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Separation of cancer cells gives advantages in understanding the disease, guiding treatment decisions, and facilitating drug development. Overall, separation plays an important role in biological research. Acoustophoresis is a technique that utilizes acoustic waves to separate particles and cells suspended in a buffer medium.

  3. 7. 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

  4. 8. Deep Neural Networks for Noise Reduction and Bias Removal in MR Diffusion Signal

    University essay from

    Author : Beqir Berisha; [2022-03-22]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Deep Neural network; Prostate cancer; noise; Diffusion-weighted imaging; Rician bias correction;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study is to assess the potential of deep neural networks, trained by unsupervised learning, for diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) data modeling and denoising. DWI data were modeled by a biexponential model and Rician bias was corrected for. READ MORE

  5. 9. STANDARDIZED ORGAN AT RISK VOLUME FOR EXTERNAL BEAM RADIATION THERAPY IN PROSTATE CANCER AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO VOLUMES DEFINED BY CLINICAL PRACTICE

    University essay from

    Author : Dang Thao; [2022-01-13]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Radiation therapy; Prostate cancer; Organs at risk;

    Abstract : Background/ Purpose: In radiation therapy (RT), the radiation dose calculated in tumours and normal tissue depends on how the volumes are defined. It is difficult to standardize how tumour volumes should be defined because their anatomical extension can differ greatly between individuals. READ MORE

  6. 10. Comparing Weak and Strong Annotation Strategies for Multiple Instance Learning in Digital Pathology

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

    Author : Alice Ciallella; [2022]
    Keywords : Multiple-Instance Learning MIL ; prostate cancer; bag creation; digital pathology; binary classification; multiclass classification;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer is the second most diagnosed cancer worldwide and its diagnosis is done through visual inspection of biopsy tissue by a pathologist, who assigns a score used by doctors to decide on the treatment. However, the scoring system, the Gleason score, is affected by a high inter and intra-observer variability, lack of standardization, and overestimation. READ MORE
