2. 1. Ultrasound examination of lymph nodes in the hepato-duodenal ligament with special emphasis on patients with chronic liver diseases

   Author : Kerstin Lyttkens; Lund Diagnostisk radiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ultrasound diagnosis; magnetic resonance imaging; hepato-duodenal ligament; lymph node enlargement; biliary cirrhosis; chronic active hepatitis; humoral immunoreactivity; hepatocellular damage; cholestasis.;

   Abstract : The significance of finding lymph nodes in the hepato-duodenal ligament on ultrasound, with special emphasis on patients with inflammatory liver disease, has been evaluated. In one study a comparison was made with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is another non-invasive imaging modality without the hazards of ionizing radiation. READ MORE

4. 2. Development of Magnetomotive Ultrasound Imaging

   Author : Maria Evertsson; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Magnetomotive ultrasound; molecular imaging; contrast angents; multimodal imaging; sentinel lymph node;

   Abstract : The earlier abnormalities coupled with disease can be discovered in the body, the larger is the chance to survive the disease. Molecular imaging is a growing research field which aims to detect these abnormalities at a molecular level, when the chance of survival is still high. READ MORE

5. 3. Multimodal sentinel lymph node imaging using nanoscale-tailored particles; The importance of particle size

   Author : Pontus Kjellman; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; multimodal contrast agent; USPIO; sentinel lymph node; in vivo; EL-4 tumor;

   Abstract : As a cancer grows it will, at a certain stage of disease progression, start spreading in the body. For several types of cancer this spreading will first occur through the lymphatic system and the first place where metastatic cell will be encountered is the first lymph node that drains the area where the tumor is located.

6. 4. Ultrasound assessment and risk prediction in women with endometrial cancer

   Author : Linda Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer in the industrialized world, constituting 4.5% of all cancer in Swedish women. Standard surgery is hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, with or without lymphadenectomy, depending on the estimated risk of lymph node metastases. READ MORE

7. 5. The role of new ultrasound modalities to refine the diagnostic workup on women with cervical carcinoma

   Author : Kolbrún Pálsdóttir; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common female cancer in the world and has traditionally been clinically staged not including imaging. Despite that, clinicians depend on diagnostic imaging in the management of patients to triage them to treatment. READ MORE
