1. Evaluation of Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations with Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Abstract : Intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are characterized by feeding arteries, a tangle of abnormal vessels (nidus) and draining veins. Radiological evaluation methods are used in diagnosing AVMs, treatment planning, post-treatment evaluation and monitoring stability. READ MORE

2. Gamma knife surgery of cerebral arteriovenous malformations
Abstract : Aims of the study: to define and quantify parameters of importance for the treatment result in Gamma Knife (GK) surgery of arteriovenous malformations (AVM). To determine the natural course of AVM in order to calculate the impact of the GK treatment on the latency period between treatment and obliteration. READ MORE

3. Surgically corrected univentricular hearts. Anatomical, haemodynamic and functional status at a long-term follow-up
Abstract : The Fontan operation and its modifications are applied to a large spectrum of congenital heart defectswith univentricular physiology. The Fontan circulation is characterised by a reduced, non-pulsatilepulmonary blood flow and the elevated central venous pressure is the main driving force for thepulmonary blood flow. READ MORE

4. Results and complications of endovascular neurointerventions in intracranial aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations, evaluated by conventional angiography and diffusion-perfusion MRI
Abstract : Aims - To describe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of intra-arterial fibrinolysis and the clinical outcome in SAH patients with thromboembolic complications during endovascular coiling of a ruptured aneurysm. (Paper I) - To describe the use and feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), especially diffusion and perfusion imaging, in three patients treated endovascularly for various cerebrovascular disorders.

5. Hypofractionated conformal stereotactic radiotherapy in the treatment of AVMs and cerebral metastases
Abstract : Hypofractionated conformal stereotactic radiotherapy (HCSRT) has been used for the treatment of AVMs at the Umeå University Hospital since 1986. From this year and onwards an increasing number of patients with single or oligo brain metastases have also been treated using this technique. READ MORE
