    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Alicia Palmér; [2024]
    Keywords : Perfusion; Medical image analysis; Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Tofts model; Functional imaging; Optimization; T1 map; Perfusion; Medicinsk bildanalys; Dynamisk kontrastförstärkt magnetisk resonanstomografibildtagning; Tofts-modell; Funktionell bildbehandling; Optimering; T1 karta;

    Abstract : Cancer is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. When given optimal treatment, however, the risk of severe illness may greatly be reduced. Determining optimal treatment in turn requires evaluation of disease progression and response to potential, previous treatment. READ MORE

  3. 2. Using Generative Adversarial Networks for H&E-to-HER2 Stain Translation in Digital Pathology Images

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

    Author : William Tirmén; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine learning; Artificial intelligence; Digital pathology; Image processing; Generative adversarial networks; Image-to-image translation;

    Abstract : In digital pathology, hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) is a routine stain which is performed on most clinical cases and it often provides clinicians with sufficient information for diagnosis. However, when making decisions on how to guide breast cancer treatment, immunohistochemical staining of human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2 staining) is also needed. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Serum TK1 activity and SAA concentration as biomarkers to differentiate lymphoma from gastrointestinal disease in cats

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Amanda Friman; [2023]
    Keywords : lymphoma; gastrointestinal lymphoma; feline lymphoma; inflammatory bowel disease; IBD; thymidine kinase 1; TK1; biomarker; cancer; cats;

    Abstract : Alimentary lymphoma is one of the most common malignant neoplasms in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in cats. Since the clinical signs often are identical to those of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and the findings on diagnostic imaging and endoscopic mucosal biopsies overlap, invasive biopsy sampling from the GI tract is needed to be able to differentiate these two diseases from each other.

  6. 5. Digital Image Analysis using Qupath to determine immune cell content in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded murine neuroblastoma tumors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Anton Bergström Holm; [2023]
    Keywords : Neuroblastoma; Tumor-associated neutrophils TANs ; Digital image analysis; QuPath;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma (NB), an extracranical solid tumor, is among the most prevalent cancers affecting children, particularly those under the age of five. High-risk NB presents a survival rate just below 50 %. Angiogenesis, a crucial process in NB, is induced by various pro-angiogenic factors. READ MORE
