  1. 1. Evaluating image analysis techniques for ultrasound optical tomography in breast tissue

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Henrik von Friesendorff; [2023]
    Keywords : ultrasound optical tomography; Monte Carlo light simulation; image reconstruction; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world today and early detection is crucial to minimize the mortality. ”Ultrasound optical tomography” (UOT) is a method under development for deep tissue imaging. READ MORE

  3. 2. Investigating the crosstalk between estrogen receptor beta in colorectal cancer and tumor-associated macrophages

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Alicia Bodin; [2023]
    Keywords : estrogen; macrophages; colorectal cancer; qPCR; cell culture; östrogen; makrofager; tjocktarmscancer; qPCR; cellodling;

    Abstract : Tjock-och ändtarmscancer (kolorektalcancer) är den tredje vanligaste cancertypen och den näst vanligaste cancer-relaterade dödsorsaken i världen. Östrogen har visat sig ha en skyddande roll mot kolorektalcancer och östrogenreceptor beta är den dominerande östrogenreceptorn i normalt kolonepitel. READ MORE

  4. 3. Uncertainties in the use of synthetic CT (sCT) for daily online adaptive radiotherapy for lung cancer

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Johansson Vivika; [2023]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background and purpose: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) based online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) has been clinically implemented for several anatomical sites worldwide. However, random and abrupt anatomical changes with large density alterations can occur in lung patients, leading to uncertainties with synthetic computed tomography (sCT) and dose calculation.

    Author : Elias Nilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Introduction: Standard dosimetry methods for radionuclide therapies re- quire imaging at multiple time points post injection. An alternative method has been presented in the literature that uses previously acquired pharma- cokinetic data to create so-called dose factors. READ MORE

  6. 5. Structural features underlying antigen presentation by the non-classical MHC class Ib molecule Qa-1b

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Lejla AI-Tamimi; [2022]
    Keywords : immune checkpoint; NKG2A; MHC class Ib; Qdm; antibody; crystal structure;

    Abstract : Blockering av NKG2A receptorn på NK - och CD8+ T celler med en anti-NKG2A antikropp, medför en aktivering av cytolytisk aktivitet, och är en lovande immunkontrollpunkt i immunterapi mot cancer. Nyligen har en TCR-liknande antikropp, EXX1, som binder till liganden för NKG2A receptorn, Qa-1b - en icke-klassisk MHC klass Ib molekyl i möss -studerats i tumör modeller in vitro. READ MORE
