  1. 16. On the use of light for the characterization and treatment of malignant tumours

    Författare :Claes af Klinteberg; Atomfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Diffusion equation; Aminolevulinic acid; Protoporphyrin IX; Photodynamic therapy; Fluorescence spectroscopy; Fluorescence imaging; Laser-Doppler perfusion imaging; Atom- och molekylärfysik; Atomic and molecular physics; Multiple scattering; Tissue optics; Tissue optical properties; Fysicumarkivet A:1999:Klinteberg;

    Sammanfattning : Some aspects on the use of light for tissue characterization and treatment of malignant tumours are discussed within this thesis. The work presented aims at improving optical techniques for tissue characterization, especially to detect malignant and pre-malignant lesions. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Model-based Approaches to Diffuse Optical Imaging and Dosimetry

    Författare :Johan Axelsson; Atomfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; photodynamic therapy; diffuse light propagation; fluorescence; imaging; dosimetry; inverse problem;

    Sammanfattning : The work within this thesis investigates Photodynamic therapy and Fluorescence imaging for therapeutics and visualization of deeply embedded lesions. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a cancer treatment modality that can eradicate tumors when light, a photosensible drug and oxygen are present. LÄS MER

  4. 18. On the diagnosis and treatment of intraepidermal carcinoma

    Författare :Julia Fougelberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Intraepidermal carcinoma; Bowen disease; Squamous cell carcinoma; Dermoscopy; Photodynamic therapy; Surgical excision; Cryosurgery; Curettage; Destructive treatment;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract: Intraepidermal carcinoma (IEC), also known as Bowen disease (BD) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in situ, is a precursor to SCC. The incidence of IEC is increasing rapidly in fair-skinned populations with a subsequent increase in patient morbidity. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Optical spectroscopy in biomedicine - detection of embedded inclusions and in vivo pharmacokinetics

    Författare :Jenny Svensson; Atomfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; temperature; Atomic and molecular physics; Atom- och molekylärfysik; photosensitizer; photodynamic therapy; fluorescence spectroscopy; multispectral imaging;

    Sammanfattning : The main theme of this thesis is the use of fluorescence spectroscopy in biomedicine. The work presented in the thesis can be divided into three areas of applications. The first area involves the use of fluorescence to find the location of a deeply situated fluorophore within turbid media. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Epidemiology, diagnostics and treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers

    Författare :Oscar Zaar; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pain; non-melanoma skin cancer; basal cell carcinoma; merkel cell carcinoma; Bowen’s disease; imaging mass spectrometry; lipidomics; photodynamic therapy;

    Sammanfattning : Skin cancer, including malignant melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), is a growing problem due to the increasing incidence in Sweden and in other Caucasian populations. NMSCs are diagnosed as often as all other cancers combined and include basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), precursors to SCC such as Bowen’s disease (BD) and actinic keratosis (AK), as well as several rare skin cancers including Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC).
