2. 1. Ultrasound prediction of large fetuses. Epidemiological and clinical investigations

   Author : Gun Lindell; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Two-dimensional ultrasound; three-dimensional ultrasound; fetus; intrauterine growth; maternal characteristic; large-for-gestational age; antenatal calculation; Bayesian theorem; fetal weight; estimation; post-term fetus; fetal macrosomia;

   Abstract : The proportions of newborns with a birth weight (BW) >4,000 g and of macrosomic newborns (BW >4,500 g) have increased during the last two decades, parallel with an increasing maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and age at the time for pregnancy. Delivery of a large fetus, especially >4,500 g might cause perinatal complications for both the mother and her child. READ MORE

4. 2. On perfusion estimation using ultrasound

   Author : Tomas Jansson; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Instrumentation technology; Speckle; Artifacts; Perfusion; Ultrasound; Doppler; Mät- och instrumenteringsteknik;

   Abstract : This thesis has the main focus on ways to improve the blood perfusion estimate, as obtained from a continuous wave Doppler system. Earlier studies have shown large temporal variations in the detected perfusion estimate, due to speckle. READ MORE

5. 3. Quantification and Visualization of Cardiovascular Function using Ultrasound

   Author : Matilda Larsson; Lars-Åke Brodin; Hans Torp; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ultrasound; Tissue Doppler imaging; Speckle tracking imaging; cardiovascular function; visualization; quantification; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

   Abstract : There is a large need for accurate methods detecting cardiovascular diseases, since they are one of the leading causes of mortality in the world, accounting for 29.3% of all deaths. READ MORE

6. 4. Testing of Doppler Ultrasound Systems

   Author : Andrew Walker; Per Ask; Ivar Ringqvist; Bengt Wranne; Birger Wandt; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Blood and tissue velocities are measured and analyzed in cardiac, vascular, and other applications of diagnostic ultrasound. Errors in system performance might give invalid measurements.We developed two moving string test targets and a rotating cylinder phantom (Doppler phantoms) to characterize Doppler ultrasound systems.

7. 5. Acoustic manipulation of cells and microbeads in droplet microfluidics

   Author : Anna Fornell; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Acoustophoresis; Droplet microfluidics; Enrichment; Lab-on-a-chip; Particle manipulation; Ultrasound;

   Abstract : Droplet microfluidics has emerged as a promising platform for miniaturisation of biological assays on-chip. In droplet microfluidics small water droplets (nL-pL) surrounded by an immiscible carrier oil are generated at high throughput. READ MORE
