2. 6. Resonance sensor technology for detection of prostate cancer

   Author : Ville Jalkanen; Olof Lindahl; Britt Andersson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; resonance sensor; prostate tissue; stiffness; detecting prostate cancer; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

   Abstract : Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men in Europe and the USA. Some prostate tumours are regarded as stiffer than the surrounding normal tissue, and therefore it is of interest to be able to reliably measure prostate tissue stiffness. The methods presently used to detect prostate cancer are inexact, and new techniques are needed. READ MORE

4. 7. Placental Function : An Epidemiological and Magnetic Resonance Study

   Author : Sara Sohlberg; Anna-Karin Wikstrom; Matts Olovsson; Ajlana Mulic-Lutvica; Johan Wikström; Karel Marsal; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; body height; body mass index; early preeclampsia; late preeclampsia; magnetic resonance imaging; placenta; perfusion; IVIM; risk factors; energy metabolism; magnetic resonance spectroscopy; 31P-MRS; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

   Abstract : Placental function is central for normal pregnancy and in many of the major pregnancy disorders. We used magnetic resonance imaging techniques to investigate placental function in normal pregnancy, in early and late preeclampsia and in intrauterine growth restriction. READ MORE

5. 8. Detecting Inclusions in a Silicone Rubber Phantom Using Standing Lamb Waves and Multiple Frequency Footprints

   Author : Ulf G Jonsson; Britt Andersson; Olof A Lindahl; Jacques Ohayon; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Piezoelectric; Silicone rubber; Impedance; Resonance; Lamb waves; Phantom; Electronics; elektronik;

   Abstract : The thesis deals with one major question: is it possible, using one piezoelectric sensor/vibrator, to detect a hard inclusion in a silicone rubber phantom? The question was approached with an open mind and the task was subdivided into three clearly identifiable parts: characterization of the piezoelectric sensor/vibrator (paper I), creating a model of the visco-elastic properties of a tissue-like material (phantom) in contact with the sensor/vibrator (paper II), and to detect the presence of a hard inclusion in the phantom (paper III). All vibrations of the sensor/vibrator and phantom was modeled using a finite element method (FEM). READ MORE

6. 9. Application of Automated Non-contact Resonance Testing for Low Temperature Behavior of Asphalt Concrete

   Author : Abiy Bekele; Nils Ryden; Safwat Said; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Resonance testing; stiffness modulus; asphalt concrete; Non-contact excitation; Resonance frequency; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap;

   Abstract : Impact resonance testing is a well-documented non-destructive testing method and its applications on asphalt concrete have also been implemented successfully. The test is carried out manually by inducing an impact in order to excite the test specimen and taking measurements of the vibrational response. READ MORE

7. 10. Technomedical Visions : Magnetic Resonance Imaging in 1980s Sweden

   Author : Isabelle Dussauge; Arne Kaijser; Pär Blomkvist; Eva Åhrén; Anne Beaulieu; KTH; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; anatomy; body; NMR; psychiatry; radiology; representations; Sweden; visual studies; history of medicine; history of technology; laboratory science; magnetic resonance; mediation; medical gaze; medical imaging; MRI; History of technology; Teknikhistoria;

   Abstract : The medical imaging technology called MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) stems from a blind measurement technology which was further developed in research and practice to enable seeing into the inner body. Vision with MRI was open-ended, and it was developed and tamed in a context of fragmented medical perspectives on the body and on technology. READ MORE
