2. 1. Myocardial Perfusion and Function: Comparative assessment by ECG, SPECT and MRI

   Author : Eva Persson; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering; Physiology; radiologi; radiology; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; Clinical physics; ST-segment deviation ; myocardial ischemia ; myocardial perfusion ; MRI; CMR; MPS; ECG; SPECT; Fysiologi; Cardiovascular system; myocardial function ; Kardiovaskulära systemet;

   Abstract : Evaluation of myocardial perfusion and function is important in management of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease. This thesis focuses on the use of common diagnostic methods, myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (MPS) and electrocardiography (ECG), to enhance and validate the diagnostic information.

4. 2. Detection and Classification in Electrocardiac Signals

   Author : Magnus Åström; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Signalbehandling; Signal processing; morphology classification; QRS detection; ischemia; body position changes; electrogram; ECG; electrocardiogram; clustering; classification; Detection; sensing;

   Abstract : Signal processing can be used to condition medical signals to facilitate their interpretation, and to extract clinically important information. The purpose of the present doctoral thesis is to put forward solutions to certain problems encountered in the processing of electrocardiac signals. READ MORE

5. 3. Fetal reactivity assessment during intrapartum stress by analysis of the fetal ECG signal

   Author : Sofia Blad; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : FHR variability; fetal ECG; Asphyxia; Intrauterine infection; Residual method; STAN;

   Abstract : Fetal responses to the stress of labour and delivery are constituted by a combination of changes in neuronal, hormonal and organ based reactions. The aim of electronic fetal monitoring is to identify fetuses at risk of hypoxia during birth, thus enabling timely intervention to avoid an adverse outcome. READ MORE

6. 4. Analysis of Electrocardiograms Using Artificial Neural Networks

   Author : Bo Hedén; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tomography; radiology; Clinical physics; Lead reversal.; Myocardial infarction; Computer-assisted; Expert system; Electrocardiography; ECG-diagnosis; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

   Abstract : Most conventional ECG interpretation programs use decision tree logic for interpretation of the ECG. The performance is generally good but can be improved. Artificial neural networks represent a new computer method, which has proved to be of value in pattern recognition and classification tasks. READ MORE

7. 5. New Methods for Automated Interpretation of Electrocardiograms and Lung Scintigrams

   Author : Holger Holst; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Decision Support System Clinical ; Image Processing Computer-Assisted ; Radionucleotide Imaging; Pulmonary Embolism; tomography; radiology; Neural Networks Computer ; Electrocardiography; Clinical physics; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

   Abstract : The principal purposes of the studies reported in this thesis were to develop new methods to make computerised decision support systems in medicine both more reliable and fully automated. These aims were pursued in the belief that the solution to these problems will lead to an increased clinical use of such systems resulting in benefit to both patient and physician. READ MORE
