6. Aspects of PET-CT in prostate cancer. Protocol optimization, diagnostic accuracy, and dosimetry
Sammanfattning : The PET-CT imaging modality is based on positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography. Before a PET-CT examination, a radioactive tracer (also called a radiopharmaceutical) is intravenously injected into the patient. PET technology images the distribution of this tracer element by detecting the decay. LÄS MER
7. The temporomandibular joint : Tomopraphic and CT assesment of its bone demarcations with reference to adjacent organs
Sammanfattning : The wall of the temporal bone separating the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) from surroundings organs, can be very thin and also have development defects. Distortion effects in the radiographic reproduction of these bone walls can result in misinterpretations when exanimating suspected pathologic changes in the region. LÄS MER
8. Monitoring of neuroendocrine tumor patients undergoing systemic therapies
Sammanfattning : Monitoring of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients undergoing systemic therapies is troublesome as biomarkers capable of detecting tumor responses have been difficult to establish. Changes in the sum of target lesion diameters are used to evaluate the effects of therapy according to the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST 1.1). LÄS MER
9. Aortic valve imaging - Towards new standards in prosthetic valve endocarditis
Sammanfattning : Background: Aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a disease with high mortality, and diagnosis is difficult. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been the mainstay imaging modality in the diagnostic workup, but TEE has diagnostic shortcomings. Thus, new imaging methods might improve the diagnostic workup of PVE. LÄS MER
10. Deriving biomarkers from computed tomography using deep learning
Sammanfattning : X-ray computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are widely used structural neuroimaging modalities. For brain atrophy assessment and volumetric quantification using automated methods, MRI is the preferred modality due to its superior soft tissue contrast. LÄS MER
