6. Characterization of the BOLD signal in functional MRI
Sammanfattning : In the last two decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become an important and widely used imaging technique for functional brain mapping. However, blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) technique is quite insensitive and task invoked BOLD signal change at 3T is typically in the order of a few percent. LÄS MER
7. Methodological improvements in quantitative MRI : Perfusion estimation and partial volume considerations
Sammanfattning : The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner is a remarkable medical imaging device, capable of producing detailed images of the inside of the body. In addition to imaging internal tissue structures, the scanner can also be used to measure various properties of the tissue. LÄS MER
8. Traumatic patellar dislocation in childhood : late effects on knee function and cartilage quality
Sammanfattning : Background and aim: Acute patellar dislocation affects approximately 1:1000 healthy children 9- 15 years of age, and up to 50% are at risk for recurrent dislocations. In adults the condition is associated with long-term complications, such as osteoarthritis and impairment of knee function. LÄS MER
9. Development of new MRl-based analysis methods for improved diagnosis of low back pain patients
Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability worldwide, where three of four individuals experience back pain at some point in their lives. The pathophysiological background of LBP is probably multifactorial, where bone marrow damage, tissue changes in the vertebral endplates, and intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration have been recognized as tissue changes linked to pain.

10. Magnetic resonance imaging techniques for diagnostics in Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonism
Sammanfattning : Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by rigidity, hypokinesia, tremor and postural instability. PD is a clinical diagnosis based on neurological examination, patient history and treatment response. LÄS MER
