2. 1. lntrafractional motion effects during stereotactic body radiation therapy of lung tumors

   Author : Sebastian Sarudis; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Motion effects; Interplay; SBRT; SGRT; Lung tumors; VMAT; CA;

   Abstract : Abstract: Patient shifts and tumor motions occurring during stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) have been analyzed to determine the related effects on the delivered dose. Methods: 4-dimensional computed tomography series were retrospectively reviewed to characterize respiratory-induced lung tumor motions in 126 patients. READ MORE

4. 2. Lung Transplantation: Clinical and experimental studies

   Author : Leif Eriksson; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Respiratory system; Follow up Studies; Vascular Resistance; Intensive Care; Induced; Hypothermia; Swine; Extracorporeal Circulation; Lung Transplantation; Organ Preservation; Andningsorganen; Immunology; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi;

   Abstract : During the past 15 years lung transplantation has been established as a therapeutic option for patients with end-stage pulmonary disease. The results have improved over time and some transplantation centers now show 1-year survival rates above 80%. READ MORE

5. 3. Long-term side effects of radiotherapy in breast cancer : studies in ischemic heart disease and lung cancer

   Author : Anna-Karin Wennstig; Malin Sund; Carl Blomqvist; Greger Nilsson; Per Karlsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : breast cancer; radiotherapy; long-term side effects; ischemic heart disease; lung cancer; survivorship; Oncology; onkologi;

   Abstract : Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women worldwide. Due to early detection and advances in adjuvant therapies, most women diagnosed with early BC will be cured of their disease, and issues of survivorship are of great importance. READ MORE

6. 4. Tomosynthesis in pulmonary cystic fibrosis

   Author : Kristina Vult von Steyern; Lund Diagnostisk radiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cystic fibrosis; Lung; Radiation dose; Radiography; Scoring methods; Tomography; spiral computed; X-ray computed;

   Abstract : The aims of this thesis were to investigate whether chest tomosynthesis might be used in pulmonary cystic fibrosis, to design and validate a tomosynthesis scoring system, and to determine the effective dose from chest tomosynthesis in children. In a prospective study starting in 2008 clinical chest radiography or computed tomography (CT) were supplemented with a tomosynthesis examination of the lungs. READ MORE

7. 5. Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry : Exploring the Limits of Different Sample Preparation Strategies
