21. Hyperpolarized 3He-diffusion MRI in evaluation of lung structure in emphysema. Validation and development of the method
Sammanfattning : Abstract COPD is a major cause of chronic morbidity and mortality throughout the world. It is a preventable and treatable disease. Smoking is the most commonly encountered risk factor for COPD and the habit now unfortunately starts at earlier ages than before. LÄS MER
22. Optimized MRI methods for simplified oncological imaging in pancreas and liver
Sammanfattning : Recent technological advances within the fields of Abdominal Imaging have revolutionised oncological imaging. In the investigation of the solid organs in the upper abdomen, extensive examinations are used in order to obtain accurate information. LÄS MER
23. Monitoring the effect of anti-cancer treatment in uro-oncological malignancies with molecular imaging
Sammanfattning : In the last decade, new therapies have changed the management of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Although new therapies have improved survival, drug response varies widely with some patients not responding to treatment. LÄS MER
24. Placental Function : An Epidemiological and Magnetic Resonance Study
Sammanfattning : Placental function is central for normal pregnancy and in many of the major pregnancy disorders. We used magnetic resonance imaging techniques to investigate placental function in normal pregnancy, in early and late preeclampsia and in intrauterine growth restriction. LÄS MER
25. Diffusion-encoded MRI for assessment of structure and microcirculation : Aspects of q-space imaging and improved IVIM modelling
Sammanfattning : Diffusion and perfusion MRI are valuable methods for investigating the microstructure and viability of tissue. One pure diffusion study was included in this thesis, with the purpose of studying microstructure and carrying out size estimations with the q-space diffusion imaging method. LÄS MER
