1. Measurement of T1 relaxation time in lungs - Preclinical and clinical MRI applications to COPD
Sammanfattning : Monitoring of regional lung function in clinical trials of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) requires alternative endpoints beyond global pulmonary function tests (PFTs), which is the most common approach for diagnosing lung function abnormalities in humans. A promising magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarker of lung disease in humans and animals is the T1 relaxation parameter. LÄS MER
2. Gradient echo-based quantitative MRI of human brain at 7T : Mapping of T1, MT saturation and local flip angle
Sammanfattning : Quantitative MRI (qMRI) refers to the process of deriving maps of MR contrast parameters, such as relaxation times, from conventional images. If the qMRI maps have a high degree of precision and a low degree of bias, they can be compared longitudinally, across subjects, and (ideally) between measurement protocols and research sites.

3. Signal Processing for Spectroscopic Applications
Sammanfattning : Spectroscopic techniques allow for studies of materials and organisms on the atomic and molecular level. Examples of such techniques are nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy—one of the principal techniques to obtain physical, chemical, electronic and structural information about molecules—and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—an important medical imaging technique for, e.

4. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance evaluation of effusive and constrictive physiologies
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents an exploration of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in the evaluation of effusive and constrictive heart conditions. Central to the thesis is advanced CMR as a diagnostic tool in pericardial effusion and constrictive pericarditis. LÄS MER
5. Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Determination of Human Body Composition. Methodological and Applied Studies
Sammanfattning : Background: Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide important research opportunities due to their unique capability of characterizing and quantifying tissues and organs. Ionizing radiation is a limitation using CT, and recent developments aiming to improve MRI for determination of body composition have not been validated. LÄS MER
