1. A Segmented Silicon Strip Detector for Photon-Counting Spectral Computed Tomography
Abstract : Spectral computed tomography with energy-resolving detectors has a potential to improve the detectability of images and correspondingly reduce the radiation dose to patients by extracting and properly using the energy information in the broad x-ray spectrum. A silicon photon-counting detector has been developed for spectral CT and it has successfully solved the problem of high photon flux in clinical CT applications by adopting the segmented detector structure and operating the detector in edge-on geometry.

2. Genetic Sex Differences in Early Human Neuronal Development : An Investigation in Embryo Tissue and Embryonic Stem Cells
Abstract : Sex differences in the human body affect many different organs and tissues, some of them have an effect on the human brain and its development. In the developing nervous system, sex differences can bias the number or functionality of neurons, glial cells or synapses. As a result, neural networks might develop with a sex-specific bias.

3. Functional Role of Genetic Polymorphisms Associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Abstract : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic and complex autoimmune disorder characterized by a failure in the mechanism of self-tolerance and production of autoantibodies, potentially affecting any organ in the body. The genetic factors behind the disease have been extensively studied in the past years and to date a list of more than 30 loci have been associated with SLE. READ MORE

4. “I am solely a professional – neutral and genderless” : on gender bias and gender awareness in the medical profession
Abstract : Aim: During the last decades research has reported seemingly unjustified differences between how women and men are perceived as patients, medical students and physicians. Most studies have been performed outside Scandinavia. READ MORE

5. On Medical Image Segmentation With Noisy Labels
Abstract : It is well known that data sets used for training and testing automatic medical image segmentation methods often contain a lot of label noise. Such noise affects the performance of the methods and has been subject to a lot of research. READ MORE
