1. 6. Characterization and Optimization of Silicon-strip Detectors for Mammography and Computed Tomography

   Författare :Han Chen; Mats Danielsson; cheng xu; Andrew Maidment; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mammography; anti-scatter grid; photon-counting; spectral computed tomography; silicon strip; ASIC; energy resolution; Compton scatter; material decomposition; K-edge imaging; Medical Technology; Medicinsk teknologi;

   Sammanfattning : The goal in medical x-ray imaging is to obtain the image quality requiredfor a given detection task, while ensuring that the patient dose is kept as lowas reasonably achievable. The two most common strategies for dose reductionare: optimizing incident x-ray beams and utilizing energy informationof transmitted beams with new detector techniques (spectral imaging). LÄS MER

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

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

   Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

4. 8. Methods of image acquisition and calibration for x-ray computed tomography

   Författare :Martin Sjölin; Mats Danielsson; J. Webster Stayman; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Medical Technology; Medicinsk teknologi;

   Sammanfattning : X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a common medical imaging device for acquiring high-resolution 3D images of the interior of the human body. The images are formed by mathematical reconstruction from hundreds of planar x-ray images that have been acquired during less then a second. LÄS MER

5. 9. Tailoring Gaussian processes for tomographic reconstruction

   Författare :Carl Jidling; Thomas B. Schön; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical Engineering with specialization in Signal Processing; Elektroteknik med inriktning mot signalbehandling;

   Sammanfattning : A probabilistic model reasons about physical quantities as random variables that can be estimated from measured data. The Gaussian process is a respected member of this family, being a flexible non-parametric method that has proven strong capabilities in modelling a wide range of nonlinear functions. LÄS MER

7. 10. Synthesis and characterization of fluorescent stilbene-based probes targeting amyloid fibrils

   Författare :Jun Zhang; Peter Konradsson; Per Hammarström; Xiongyu Wu; Lin Li; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by two main protein aggregate hallmarks in the brain: extracellular deposition of the amyloid-β (Aβ) in senile plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) consisting of hyperphosphorylated tau protein. The past decade has seen great progress in the development of imaging probes for the non-invasive detection of Aβ and tau aggregates. LÄS MER
