1. Blood flow specific assessment of ventricular function : Visualization and quantification using 4D flow CMR
Abstract : The spectrum of cardiovascular diseases is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Early assessment and treatment of these conditions, acquired as well as congenital, is therefore of paramount importance. The human heart has a great ability to adapt to various hemodynamic conditions by cardiac remodeling. READ MORE

3. Counting and Tracking : Development and Use of New Methods for Detailed Analysis of Thrombus Formation
Abstract : Blood platelets are a part of the complex system called haemostasis aimed at ensuring our blood’s continuous transport of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. The transport is ensured by limiting blood loss due to vessel injury and in this process, the platelets form a plug in the damaged area, reinforced by the formation of fibrin. READ MORE

4. Segmentation and Visualisation of Human Brain Structures
Abstract : In this thesis the focus is mainly on the development of segmentation techniques for human brain structures and of the visualisation of such structures. The images of the brain are both anatomical images (magnet resonance imaging (MRI) and autoradigraphy) and functional images that show blood flow (functional magnetic imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and single photon emission tomograpy (SPECT)).

5. Level Set Segmentation and Volume Visualization of Vascular Trees
Abstract : Medical imaging is an important part of the clinical workflow. With the increasing amount and complexity of image data comes the need for automatic (or semi-automatic) analysis methods which aid the physician in the exploration of the data. READ MORE
