1. 1. Statistical methods in medical image estimation and sparse signal recovery

   Författare :Fekadu Lemessa Bayisa; Jun Yu; Ottmar Cronie; Henning Omre; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Computed tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; Gaussian mixture model; skew-Gaussian mixture model; hidden Markov random field; hidden Markov model; supervised statistical learning; synthetic CT images; pseudo-CT images; spike and slab prior; adaptive algorithm;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis presents work on methods for the estimation of computed tomography (CT) images from magnetic resonance (MR) images for a number of diagnostic and therapeutic workflows. The study also demonstrates sparse signal recovery method, which is an intermediate method for magnetic resonance image reconstruction. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : The biological mechanisms involved in bone regeneration in osteoporotic bone and the effect of antiresorptive drugs in relation to surgically inserted biomaterials are not fully understood. Improved osseointegration of titanium implants but also adverse effects of antiresorptive therapies, such as osteonecrotic jaw have been described in the literature. LÄS MER

5. 4. Evaluation of fucosylated receptors for Cholera toxin in the human small intestine

   Författare :Jakob Cervin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cholera toxin; Lewis antigen; HBGA; HMO; Fucose; GM1;

   Sammanfattning : Cholera toxin (CT) produced by Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent for the diarrheal disease cholera. Cholera is yearly afflicting millions and is estimated to kill over 100 000 people every year. In this thesis I aimed to better understand the role of noncanonical CT receptors, e.g. LÄS MER

7. 5. Optimizing computed tomography : quality assurance, radiation dose and contrast media

   Författare :Patrik Nowik; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Computed tomography (CT) is an important modality in radiology; it enables imaging of the inside of patients without superimposed anatomy. The radiation dose and quality of a CT image are highly dependent on the CT scanner, the scan settings and, if applicable, the timing and dosage of the intravenous contrast media (CM). LÄS MER
