  3. 7. Exploring Deep Learning Frameworks for Multiclass Segmentation of 4D Cardiac Computed Tomography

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

    Author : Norman Janurberg; Christian Luksitch; [2021]
    Keywords : Computed Tomography; Multiclass Segmentation; Image Segmentation; 4D; Deep Learning; MONAI; Unet; Cropping network; Multiaxis Segmentation;

    Abstract : By combining computed tomography data with computational fluid dynamics, the cardiac hemodynamics of a patient can be assessed for diagnosis and treatment of cardiac disease. The advantage of computed tomography over other medical imaging modalities is its capability of producing detailed high resolution images containing geometric measurements relevant to the simulation of cardiac blood flow.

  4. 8. Deep-learning based prediction model for dose distributions in lung cancer patients

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Terese Hellström; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background To combat one of the leading causes of death worldwide, lung cancer treatment techniques and modalities are advancing, and the treatment options are becoming increasingly individualized. Modern cancer treatment includes the option for the patient to be treated with proton therapy, which can in some cases spare healthy tissue from excessive dose better than conventional photon radiotherapy.
