  2. 1. Modelling and Analysing Hospital Surgery Operations Management

    Author : Marie Persson; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optimization; Simulation; Management; Healthcare; Mathematical programming;

    Abstract : With an increasing proportion of elderly and an increasing demand for healthcare, managerial efforts are needed in order make the best use of resources and to keep cost under control. One of the most critical and expensive resources in a hospital is the operating theatre. READ MORE

  4. 2. Aspects of PET-CT in prostate cancer. Protocol optimization, diagnostic accuracy, and dosimetry

    Author : Mimmi Bjöersdorff; Malmö Nuklearmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PET-CT; Prostatacancer; [18F]FCH; [18F]PSMA-1007; optimering; diagnostisk noggrannhet; dosimetri; PET-CT; Prostate Cancer; [18F]FCH; [18F]PSMA-1007; Optimization; Diagnostic accuracy; Dosimetric;

    Abstract : The PET-CT imaging modality is based on positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography. Before a PET-CT examination, a radioactive tracer (also called a radiopharmaceutical) is intravenously injected into the patient. PET technology images the distribution of this tracer element by detecting the decay. READ MORE

  5. 3. Development and application of composite energy deposition kernels for photon therapy planning

    Author : Anders Eklöf; Simo Hyödynmaa; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : Energy deposition kernels; volume overlap algorithm; radiotherapy planning; photon pencil beams; treatment optimization; biological treatment objectives; medicinsk strålningsfysik; Medical Radiation Physics;

    Abstract : In recent years, the use of optimization algorithms in radiation therapy planning has increased dramatically. All optimization algorithms as well as most modern implementations of conventional therapy planning, use energy deposition kernels as a fundamental part of the calculations. READ MORE

  7. 5. Offline Task Scheduling in a Three-layer Edge-Cloud Architecture

    Author : Ayeh Mahjoubi; Karl-Johan Grinnemo; Arunselvan Ramaswamy; Alessandro Papadopoulos; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; task offloading; task scheduling; edge computing; internet of things; optimization techniques; heuristics; meta-heuristics; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Internet of Things (IoT) devices are increasingly being used everywhere, from the factory to the hospital to the house to the car. IoT devices typically have limited processing resources, so they must rely on cloud servers to accomplish their tasks. Thus, many obstacles need to be overcome while offloading tasks to the cloud.
