6. On optical methods for intracerebral measurements during stereotactic and functional neurosurgery : Experimental studies
Sammanfattning : Radio frequency (RF) lesioning and deep brain stimulation (DBS) are the two prevailing surgical treatments for movement disorders within the field of stereotactic and functional neurosurgery. For RF-lesioning, a small volume of brain tissue is coagulated and knowledge of the lesion size and growth is of great importance for the safety and outcome of the procedure. LÄS MER
7. Modeling and Simulation of Microdialysis in the Deep Brain Structures
Sammanfattning : Microdialysis is a method for monitoring of the local biochemical environment in a region of interest. The method uses a catheter, mimicking the function of a blood capillary, to sample substances from the surrounding medium through diffusion. LÄS MER
8. Characterisation and modelling of radio-frequency lesioning in functional neurosurgery
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the characterisation and modelling of the radio frequency (RF) lesioning with emphasis on size estimation in functional neurosurgery. A computer-assisted video system has been set up for standardised test and documentation of protein clots generated by RF-lesioning electrodes in an albumin solution. LÄS MER
9. Towards a broader use of phototesting : in research, clinical practice and skin cancer prevention
Sammanfattning : In western societies, skin cancer incidence has increased dramatically over recent decades, due predominantly to increased sun exposure habits. Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure and individual light sensitivity of the skin constitute two important factors affecting the risk for skin cancer development. LÄS MER
10. Evaluation of a Laser Doppler System for Myocardial Perfusion Monitoring
Sammanfattning : Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is a common treatment for patients with coronary artery disease. A potential complication of CABG is myocardial ischemia or infarction. In this thesis, a method - based on laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) - for detection of intra- and postoperative ischemia by myocardial perfusion monitoring is evaluated. LÄS MER
