11. Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Quantitative Demarcation of Glioblastoma Using 5-Aminolevulinic Acid
Abstract : Total resection of glioblastoma, the highly malignant brain tumor, is difficult to accomplish due to its diffuse growth and similarity to the surrounding brain tissue. A total resection is proven to increase patient survival. READ MORE

12. Single exposure phototesting and assessment of pigmented skin lesions : quantitative methods in terms of blood perfusion estimates
Abstract : This thesis concerns the development of quantitative phototesting for the investigation of individual skin sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and the assessment of pigmented skin lesions (PSL) in terms of blood perfusion estimates. In both cases, laser Doppler perfusion imaging (LDPI) was used to quantify the perfusion. READ MORE

13. Impact of Tissue Characteristics on Radio-Frequency Lesioning and Navigation in the Brain : Simulation, experimental and clinical studies
Abstract : Radio-Frequency (RF) lesioning, or RF ablation, is a method that uses high frequency currents for thermal coagulation of pathological tissue or signal pathways. The current is delivered from an electrode, which also contains a temperature sensor permitting control of the current at a desired target temperature. In the brain, RF lesioning can e.g. READ MORE

14. Movement artifact reduction in laser Doppler blood flowmetry : myocardial perfusion applications
Abstract : Laser Doppler perfusion monitoring (LDPM) and imaging (LDPI) enable assessment of tissue microvascular perfusion. The techniques are based on the Doppler broadening of the optical spectrum occurring when coherent laser light is scattered by moving red blood cells (RBC). READ MORE

15. Action Potential Generator and Electrode Testing
Abstract : Design, validation and application of a test platform for electrode characterization and comparison is a problem today. Development of target specific electrodes is increasing, for example surface cloth electrodes, non-contact electrodes, and deep brain stimulation electrodes. READ MORE
