  2. 1. The Utility of Manganese for Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Transient Myocardial Ischemia

    Author : Rolf Eriksson; Håkan Ahlström; Tomas Bjerner; Håkan Arheden; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiology; Radiologisk forskning; Radiological research; Radiologisk forskning; radiologi; Radiology;

    Abstract : In order to improve the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, better methods for detection of myocardial perfusion defects would be useful. One of the methods used for myocardial perfusion evaluation today is magnetic resonance imaging. READ MORE

  4. 2. PET/CT in oncology : Patient experience, image quality and the value of information

    Author : Camilla Andersson; Birgitta Johansson; Håkan Ahlström; Pernilla Lagergren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : PET CT; patient experience; image quality.; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The overall aim was to investigate patients’ experiences with a PET/CT examination, satisfaction with care provided in connection to the examination and whether web-based information can improve satisfaction with care and image quality, compared to standard care. An additional aim was to explore how satisfaction with care and image quality is associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and perceived stress. READ MORE

  5. 3. Water–fat separation in magnetic resonance imaging and its application in studies of brown adipose tissue

    Author : Jonathan Andersson; Joel Kullberg; Håkan Ahlström; Mark Lubberink; Kerstin Lagerstrand; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; brown adipose tissue; magnetic resonance imaging; water–fat signal separation; graph-cut; positron emission tomography; 18F-fludeoxyglucose; infrared thermography; machine learning; artificial neural networks; deep learning; convolutional neural networks; Radiology; Radiologi;

    Abstract : Virtually all the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal of a human originates from water and fat molecules. By utilizing the property chemical shift the signal can be separated, creating water- and fat-only images. READ MORE

  6. 4. Separation of Water and Fat Signal in Magnetic Resonance Imaging : Advances in Methods Based on Chemical Shift

    Author : Johan Berglund; Joel Kullberg; Lars Johansson; Håkan Ahlström; Zhi-Pei Liang; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Magnetic resonance imaging; digital image reconstruction; chemical shift imaging; water and fat separation; Dixon method; fat suppression; quantitative MRI; whole-body MRI; fatty acid composition; fat unsaturation; triglycerides; adipose tissue; liver fat; T2* mapping; Radiology; Radiologi; Radiology; Radiologi;

    Abstract : Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most important diagnostic tools of modern healthcare. The signal in medical MRI predominantly originates from water and fat molecules. READ MORE

  7. 5. Degradation, Metabolism and Relaxation Properties of Iron Oxide Particles for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    Author : Karen Briley Saebo; Håkan Ahlström; Atle Bjørnerud; Michael Knopp; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiology; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; contrast agents; iron oxide particles; metabolism; relaxation mechanisms; Radiologisk forskning; Radiological research; Radiologisk forskning;

    Abstract : Whereas the effect of size and coating material on the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of iron oxide based contrast agents are well documented, the effect of these parameters on liver metabolism has never been investigated. The primary purpose of this work was to evaluate the effect of iron oxide particle size and coating on the rate of liver clearance and particle degradation using a rat model. READ MORE
