1. 6. Improvements of SPECT by a new collimator design and simultaneous transmission-emission tomography

   Författare :Shahrokh Kimiaei; Marija Ivanovic; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gamma camera; SPECT; Emission tomography; Transmission tomography; Planar-concave collimators; Spatial resolution; Other physics; Övrig fysik; medicinsk strålningsfysik; Medical Radiation Physics;

   Sammanfattning : SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) and planar scintigraphy are the most established and world wide-spread nuclear medicine imaging techniques for clinical use today. SPECT is a tomographic technique that allows 3-D visualization of biochemical processes or physiological flow in the human body by external detection of photons from an administered radiopharmaceutical.

3. 7. Image Quality Optimisation and Dose Management in CT, SPECT/CT, and PET/CT

   Författare :Marcus Söderberg; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CT; SPECT; PET; dosimetry; image quality; optimisation; dose reduction; automatic exposure control; contrast medium; phantom; image reconstruction; human observer;

   Sammanfattning : The significant increase in the use of CT, alone or combined with SPECT or PET, has raised concerns about patient radiation exposure and the consequent increased risk of malignancy later in life. The overall objective of this work was to evaluate and optimise different approaches for minimising patient radiation absorbed dose and maintaining or improving image quality in CT, SPECT/CT, and PET/CT.

4. 8. Electrocardiographic Imaging of Myocardial Ischemia, Infarction and Scar: Correlation with SPECT, MRI and Arrhythmias

   Författare :David G Strauss; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Electrocardiography; Imaging; Arrhythmias; Ischemia; Infarction; Cardiomyopathy; SPECT; MRI;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the development and testing of electrocardiographic (ECG) methods to diagnose and characterize myocardial ischemia, infarction and fibrosis (scar). The goal is to provide improved decision support to physicians regarding the optimal selection of patients for two costly, invasive therapies – percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) for patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

5. 9. Detection of Myocardial Ischemia using Real-Time Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography

   Författare :Petri Gudmundsson; Malmö högskola; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; myocardial contrast echocardiography; MCE; stress echocardiography; adenosine; perfusion; real-time; visual; quantative; wall motion; power modulation; bedside; SPECT; coronary insufficiency;

   Sammanfattning : Diagnostisering av syrebrist i hjärtmuskeln med hjälp av kontrastförstärkt ultraljudsundersökning av hjärtmuskelns genomblödning. Ultraljudsundersökning av hjärtat (ekokardiografi) används mycket inom hjärtsjukvården idag, oftast för att utreda hjärtats och hjärtklaffarnas anatomi och funktion. LÄS MER

7. 10. Attenuation correction in pulmonary and myocardial single photon emission computed tomography

   Författare :Helén Almquist; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk fysiologi; tomography; medical instrumentation; radiology; Clinical physics; downscatter; myocardial perfustion; ventilation-perfusion ratio; radiologi; pulmonary density; pulmonary perfusion; attenuation correction; SPECT; transmission measurement; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

   Sammanfattning : The objective was to develop and validate methods for single photon emission computed tomography, SPECT, allowing quantitative physiological and diagnostic studies of lung and heart. A method for correction of variable attenuation in SPECT, based on transmission measurements before administration of an isotope to the subject, was developed and evaluated. LÄS MER
