  1. 16. Image analysis on the structure of the Achilles tendon

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Linnea Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : biomechanics; Achilles tendon; image analysis; image processing; tendons; synchrotron; computed tomography; phase contrast; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon of the human body which makes injuries of it very painful and incapacitating. A common factor of the pain are heterotopic ossifications, which are mineral deposits occurring inside the normal tendon tissue. Why and how heterotopic ossifications occur are somewhat unknown.

  3. 17. Neural Networks for Material Decomposition in Photon-Counting Spectral CT

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Hugo Charrier; [2022]
    Keywords : PCCT; X-ray; scanner; photon counting; AI; neural networks;

    Abstract : Photon counting computed tomography scanners constitute a major improvement of the field of computed tomography, opening various prospective and enabling the decomposition of computed tomography images into different materials. The material decomposition algorithm, mapping photon counts to material pathlengths, relies on a forward model with Poisson statistics. READ MORE

  4. 18. Preparations for photon external beam radiotherapy treatment planning of small animals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Joanie Diha Guei; [2022]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Introduction:The XenX is a small animal irradiation system that acquires high-resolution cone-beam tomography (CBCT) images of small animals and treats small animals with higher precision than medical linear accelerators. MuriSlice is a software for CBCT image reconstruction. READ MORE

  5. 19. Correlation between microstructure and fatigue cracks in cast aluminium alloy A205

    University essay from Jönköping University/Tekniska Högskolan

    Author : Max Holmberg; Pontus Sundberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Aluminium Alloy A205;

    Abstract : Materials research in the aerospace industry is, among other things, focused on reducing the weight and increasing the life of components. Materials with high strength and long lifespan are therefore examined. READ MORE

  6. 20. Assessment of hip deformities during childhood: a combined approach of Machine Learning and Finite Element Analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Klara Eriksson; Jonna Fahrman; [2022]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; Hip joint; Cartilage; Osteoarthritis; Machine learning; Finite element analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that will cause pain and stiffness in the joint if not treated. One cause of early osteoarthritis in the hip joint is pediatric hip deformities. Hip deformities can occur in different stages of childhood and cause the bones to be misshapen or the hip joint to be dislocated. READ MORE
