  2. 1. MRI evaluation and image processing in gel dosimetry. A study of selected MRI properties and image processing in 3D gel dosimetry

    Author : Peter Magnusson; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk fysiologi; medical instrumentation; tomography; radiology; Clinical physics; image registering; multi-slice; slice profile; ferrous sulphate; polyacrylamide; 3D volume acquisition; RF field; B1 field; relaxation time; T1; T2; spin-echo; multi-spin-echo; stochastic noise; nonuniformity; SNR; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering; Radiopharmaceutical technology; Radiofarmaceutisk teknik; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Gel dosimetry is a new dosimetry method applied in radiation therapy. Gel dosimeters consist of a radiation sensitive gel, which can integrate absorbed doses from several radiation sources or beams. The dose to the gel can be evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a procedure that is the focus of the present thesis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Diffusion MRI: Aspects of Reproducibility and Novel Segmented 2D and 3D Approaches for Higher Resolution and Geometric Fidelity

    Author : Jens Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diffusion-weighted imaging; 3D-DWI; Time-Dependent ADC; DWi; Diffusion Time; Multi-Shot DWI; Echo- Planar Imaging; Geometric Distortion;

    Abstract : Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a very useful tool for non-invasive imaging and clinical investigation of the human body. It provides data of the water diffusion process. READ MORE

  5. 3. Lamb wave evaluation of concrete plates

    Author : Oskar Tofeldt; Teknisk geologi; []
    Keywords : Lamb waves; guided waves; impact-echo; concrete; non-destructive evaluation;

    Abstract : This thesis is about the application of Lamb waves for non-destructive evaluation of plate-like concrete structures under one-sided access test condition using a portable equipment consisting of an accelerometer and impact hammer. With this type of equipment and based on array signal processing, the impact-echo (IE) method can be extended with measurements of surface waves; this extension allows an evaluation with Lamb waves.

  6. 4. High-resolution diffusion-weighted brain MRI under motion

    Author : Mathias Engström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Magnetic resonance imaging is one of the fastest developing medical imaging techniques. It provides excellent soft tissue contrast and has been a leading tool for neuroradiology and neuroscience research over the last decades. One of the possible MR imaging contrasts is the ability to visualize diffusion processes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Quantitative echocardiographic methods for patients with acute coronary syndrome

    Author : Carl Westholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Tissue Doppler;

    Abstract : Background: The aim of this thesis was to evaluate two diagnostic and two prognostic quantitative echocardiographic methods for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods:
Velocity tracking (VeT) presents the longitudinal tissue Doppler velocities of the left ventricle (LV) as a bull’s eye plot giving an easy three dimensional understanding of both the global and regional function of the LV in regard to longitudinal velocities, systolic as well as diastolic. READ MORE
