11. Intracranial volume in neuroimaging: estimation and use in regional brain volume normalization
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to validate methods for estimation of intracranial volume in magnetic resonance images and to improve our understanding of the effect of intracranial volume normalization. To achieve the first part of the aim, 62 gold standard estimates of intracranial volume were generated by manually segmenting 1. LÄS MER
12. Design and optimization of parallel haptic devices : Design methodology and experimental evaluation
Sammanfattning : The simulation of surgical procedures, in the case of hard tissues such as bone or teeth milling, using a haptic milling surgery simulator requires a haptic device which can provide high stiffness and transparency. To mimic a real milling process of hard tissue, such as for example creating a narrow channel or cavity, the simulator needs to provide force/torque feedback in 5–6 degrees of freedom (DOF). LÄS MER
13. Automated Patient-Specific Multi-tissue Segmentation of MR Images of the Head
Sammanfattning : The automated segmentation of magnetic resonance (MR) images of the human head is an active area of research in the field of neuroimaging. The resulting segmentation yields a patient-specific labeling of individual tissues and makes possible quantitative characterization of these tissues (e.g. LÄS MER
14. Haptics with Applications to Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery Planning
Sammanfattning : Virtual surgery planning systems have demonstrated great potential to help surgeons achieve a better functional and aesthetic outcome for the patient, and at the same time reduce time in the operating room resulting in considerable cost savings. However, the two-dimensional tools employed in these systems today, such as a mouse and a conventional graphical display, are difficult to use for interaction with three-dimensional anatomical images.

15. Impact of Tissue Characteristics on Radio-Frequency Lesioning and Navigation in the Brain : Simulation, experimental and clinical studies
Sammanfattning : Radio-Frequency (RF) lesioning, or RF ablation, is a method that uses high frequency currents for thermal coagulation of pathological tissue or signal pathways. The current is delivered from an electrode, which also contains a temperature sensor permitting control of the current at a desired target temperature. In the brain, RF lesioning can e.g. LÄS MER
