1. Prehospital Diagnosis and Oxygen Treatment in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Abstract : IntroductionPaper I: An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was constructed to identify ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and predict the need for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Paper II, III and IV: Studies suggest that O2 therapy may be harmful in STEMI patients. READ MORE

2. Translational PET imaging of inflammation
Abstract : Inflammation is our body’s sophisticated defense mechanism against invading pathogens, traumas, and tumors. Repeatable and non-invasive monitoring of inflammation process would open opportunities to improve our knowledge of several diseases and enable assessment of personalized treatments. READ MORE

3. Ultrasound based shear wave elastography of the liver : a non-invasive method for evaluation of liver disease
Abstract : Background: Detecting liver disease at an early stage is important, given that early intervention decreases the risk of developing cirrhosis and subsequently hepatocellular cancer (HCC). The non-invasive ultrasound-based shear wave elastography (SWE) has been used clinically for a decade to assess liver stiffness. READ MORE

4. Nuclear medicine methods in idiopathic Parkinsonism : pre- and postsynaptic dopamine SPECT
Abstract : Background: Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with dopamine transporter (DAT) and dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) ligands can visualise the integrity of the nigrostriatal dopamine system. Parkinson’s disease (PD) and the atypical parkinsonian diseases (APD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multiple system atrophy (MSA), have similar symptoms and dopamine depletion, but differ in pharmacological response and prognosis.

5. Pulmonary imaging with quantification of T1-relaxation and oxygen enhanced MRI
Abstract : Bildtagning med magnetresonans (mangetic resonance imaging eller MRI) är en fascinerande teknik som använder magnetfält och radiovågor för att skapa detaljerade bilder av kroppens innanmäte. Tvärt om mot vad många tror så finns det ingen ”magnetröntgen” i MR-kameran, och därmed ingen skadlig joniserande strålning. READ MORE
