  2. 1. Magnetomotive ultrasound for nanomedicine : a mechanistic approach to detection, evaluation and safety assessment

    Author : Sandra Sjöstrand; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Magnetomotive; ultrasound; finite element analysis; cancer diagnosis; HT-29; Caco-2;

    Abstract : Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but reliable diagnosis and staging can contribute to optimal treatment planning, and is a crucial factor in reducing mortality and maintaining quality of life. Soft tissue mechanical properties are promising indicators of cancer that can be assessed non-invasively using functional imaging. READ MORE

  4. 2. Development of Magnetomotive Ultrasound Imaging

    Author : Maria Evertsson; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Magnetomotive ultrasound; molecular imaging; contrast angents; multimodal imaging; sentinel lymph node;

    Abstract : The earlier abnormalities coupled with disease can be discovered in the body, the larger is the chance to survive the disease. Molecular imaging is a growing research field which aims to detect these abnormalities at a molecular level, when the chance of survival is still high. READ MORE

  5. 3. Multimodal sentinel lymph node imaging using nanoscale-tailored particles; The importance of particle size

    Author : Pontus Kjellman; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; multimodal contrast agent; USPIO; sentinel lymph node; in vivo; EL-4 tumor;

    Abstract : As a cancer grows it will, at a certain stage of disease progression, start spreading in the body. For several types of cancer this spreading will first occur through the lymphatic system and the first place where metastatic cell will be encountered is the first lymph node that drains the area where the tumor is located.
