21. Detection of Myocardial Ischemia using Real-Time Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography
Abstract : Diagnostisering av syrebrist i hjärtmuskeln med hjälp av kontrastförstärkt ultraljudsundersökning av hjärtmuskelns genomblödning. Ultraljudsundersökning av hjärtat (ekokardiografi) används mycket inom hjärtsjukvården idag, oftast för att utreda hjärtats och hjärtklaffarnas anatomi och funktion. READ MORE

22. Preclinical X-ray imaging beyond attenuation contrast
Abstract : Medical imaging is a cornerstone of modern clinical practice. Here, X-ray imaging is the given choice for rapid morphological imaging with excellent spatial resolution, albeit with sensitivity often insufficient for resolving subtle pathological changes to soft tissues. READ MORE

23. Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in breast tumors
Abstract : Contrast-enhanced ultrasound or CEUS is a combination of the pharmacokinetics of contrast agents (or microbubbles-based ultrasound contrast agents), the signal processing of these agents and the contrast-specific imaging modality. One of the main objectives of this method is to gather vascular information (from large vessels to capillaries) in different organs or tumors by increasing the signal intensity from blood. READ MORE

24. Phase-Contrast X-Ray Carbon Dioxide Angiography
Abstract : Phase-contrast x-ray imaging is an emerging technology, which allows for imaging of smaller features than conventional absorption-based x-ray imaging, with lower radiation dose. Instead of the attenuation that is normally used in x-ray imaging, it utilizes the phase shift introduced by an object to the transmitted x-rays. READ MORE

25. Understanding Complex Diseases and Disease Causative Agents : The Machine Learning way
Abstract : Diseases can be caused by foreign agents – pathogens – such as viruses, bacteria and other parasites, entering the body or by an internal malfunction of the body itself. The partial understanding of diseases like cancer and the ones caused by viruses, like the influenza A viruses (IAVs) and the human immunodeficiency virus, means we still do not have an efficient cure or defence against them.
