   Abstract : Throughout the last century, medical imaging has come to revolutionise the way we diagnose disease, and is today an indispensable part of virtually any clinical practice. In cardiovascular care imaging is extensively utilised, and the development of novel techniques promises refined diagnostic abilities: ultrasound elastography allows for constitutive tissue assessment, 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables full-field flow mapping, and micro-Computed Tomography (CT) permits high-resolution imaging at pre-clinical level.

4. 2. Analysis of Seismic Data Acquired at the Forsmark Site for Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, Central Sweden

   Author : Fatemeh Sharifi Brojerdi; Christopher Juhlin; Alireza Malehmir; Bjarne Almqvist; Ramon Carbonell; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Forsmark site; anisotropy; deformation zone; reflection seismic; shear-wave splitting; fractures and traveltime tomography;

   Abstract : The Forsmark area, the main study area in this thesis, is located about 140 km north of Stockholm, central Sweden. It belongs to the Paleoproterozoic Svecokarelian orogen and contains several major ductile and brittle deformation zones including the Forsmark, Eckarfjärden and Singö zones. READ MORE

5. 3. Isotropic and Anisotropic P and S Velocities of the Baltic Shield Mantle : Results from Analyses of Teleseismic Body Waves

   Author : Tuna Eken; Roland Roberts; Uli Achauer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; teleseismic tomography; mantle lithosphere; seismic anisotropy; teleseismic earthquakes; shear wave splitting; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Geophysics Specialized In Seismology; geofysik; med inriktning mot seismologi;

   Abstract : The upper mantle structure of Swedish part of Baltic Shield with its isotropic and anisotropic seismic velocity characteristics is investigated using telesesismic body waves (i.e. P waves and shear waves) recorded by the Swedish National Seismological Network (SNSN). READ MORE

6. 4. Analyses of Seismic Wave Conversion in the Crust and Upper Mantle beneath the Baltic Shield

   Author : Sverker Olsson; Roland Roberts; Hans Thybo; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geophysics; converted waves; Moho; upper mantle; Baltic Shield; tomography; anisotropy; receiver function; Geofysik;

   Abstract : Teleseismic data recorded by broad-band seismic stations in the Swedish National Seismic Network (SNSN) have been used in a suite of studies of seismic wave conversion in order to assess the structure of the crust and upper mantle beneath the Baltic Shield. Signals of seismic waves converted between P and S at seismic discontinuities within the Earth carry information on the velocity contrast at the converting interface, on the depth of conversion and on P and S velocities above this depth.
