  1. 21. Rapid Preparation of Soft Tissue for X-ray Virtual Histology

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

    Author : Filip Lagerqvist; [2022]
    Keywords : Phase-contrast computed tomography; fixation; fixation time; image segmentation; tumor resection margin;

    Abstract : When removal of primary tumors is performed by surgery, the surgeon andthe patient would benefit from using intraoperative feedback to evaluate thetumor resection margin. If intraoperative feedback is not provided there isadditional risk of treatment of the tumor. READ MORE

  3. 22. High resolution x-ray imaging by measuring the induced charge distribution

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Zihui Jin; [2022]
    Keywords : Computed tomography; photon-counting detector; silicon; spatial resolution; Datortomografi; fotonräknande detektor; kisel; spatial upplösning;

    Abstract : Computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique used to create cross-section images of human bodies based on x-rays. The emerging photon-counting CT detector shows several advantages compared with the traditional energy integrating detector. READ MORE

  4. 23. EVALUATION OF RADIATION DOSES USING CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN ENDOVASCULAR AORTIC REPAIR AND SCOLIOSIS PROCEDURES

    University essay from

    Author : Louise Strandberg; [2021-04-06]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Cone beam CT; CT; EVAR; scoliosis; radiation dose; effective dose;

    Abstract : Purpose: The study includes the two areas, vascular surgery and orthopedics, and focuses on endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) and scoliosis procedures. EVAR procedures contribute to a high radiation dose to the patient and for scoliosis procedures, it is often young girls that are undergoing surgery. READ MORE

  5. 24. Material decomposition using a photon counting X-ray detector in low energy range

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Rasmus Solem; [2021]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Material decomposition in X-ray imaging is used to separate different materials or elements in an image and to quantify their respective concentration. The material decomposition and quantification are made possible by the dependency of attenuation on the attenuating material and photon energy. READ MORE

  6. 25. 2D & 3D phase retrieval for propagation-based X-ray phase-contrast tomography

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Philip Stjärneblad; [2021]
    Keywords : Propagation-based X-ray phase-contrast tomography; PB-PCT; Propagation-based X-ray phase-contrast Imaging; PB-PCI; 2d phase retrieval; 3d phase retrieval; TIE; sinogram consistency; reconstruction artefacts; Science General;

    Abstract : Propagation-based X-ray phase-contrast tomography is a 3d imaging technique that utilizes two-dimensional projections from different angular views $\theta =[0,\pi]$ to reconstruct the 3D object information. The phase-contrast allows for higher feature contrast than conventional transmission tomography, as the phase interference gives rise to a sharp edge contrast. READ MORE
