  2. 21. Large scale integration and interactive exploration of cancer data – with applications to glioblastoma

    Author : Patrik Johansson; Sven Nelander; Rebecka Jörnsten; Lene Uhrbom; Gary Bader; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Glioblastoma; data integration; network modeling; interactive exploration; precision medicine; Oncology; Onkologi; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine; Statistics; Statistik;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor, with a median survival of approximately 15 months. The standard of care treatment consists of surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, where chemotherapy only prolongs survival by approximately 3 months. READ MORE

  4. 22. The ADAPT scaffold as a tool for diagnostic imaging and targeted therapy

    Author : Emma von Witting; Sophia Hober; Inger Sandlie; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Protein G; ABD; ADAPT; affinity proteins; antibody; protein engineering; targeted therapy; nuclear medicine; molecular imaging; HER2; radionuclide therapy; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Molecular recognition, or the specific interactions between a protein and its ligand, is central to biology and a key factor for many different clinical and technical applications. Despite antibodies being only one of many different affinity proteins, it has by far been the most successful. READ MORE

  5. 23. Theoretical studies of Membrane Proteins : Properties, Prediction Methods and Genome-wide analysis

    Author : Erik Wallin; David Jones; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Biology; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : Membrane proteins are a large and important class of proteins. They are responsible for several of the key functions in a living cell, e.g. transport of nutrients and ions, cell-cell signaling, and cell-cell adhesion. READ MORE

  6. 24. Characterization and Energy Calibration of a Silicon-Strip Detector for Photon-Counting Spectral Computed Tomography

    Author : Xuejin Liu; Mats Danielsson; Sarah E Bohndiek; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Medical Technology; Medicinsk teknologi;

    Abstract : Multibin photon-counting x-ray detectors are promising candidates to be applied in next generation computed tomography (CT), whereby energy information from a broad x-ray spectrum can be extracted and properly used for improving image quality and correspondingly reducing radiation dose. A silicon-strip detector has been developed for spectral CT, which operates in photon-counting mode and allows pulse-height discrimination with 8 adjustable energy bins. READ MORE

  7. 25. A Multidimensional Filtering Framework with Applications to Local Structure Analysis and Image Enhancement

    Author : Björn Svensson; Hans Knutsson; Mats Andersson; Oleg Burdakov; Abhir Bhalerao; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Medical image science; multidimensional filtering; image enhancement; image registration; image segmentation; filter networks; graphics processing units GPU ; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

    Abstract : Filtering is a fundamental operation in image science in general and in medical image science in particular. The most central applications are image enhancement, registration, segmentation and feature extraction. READ MORE
