1. 1. Measurement of T1 relaxation time in lungs - Preclinical and clinical MRI applications to COPD

   Författare :Daniel Alamidi; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; biomarker; tobacco smoke; mouse; smoking; lung imaging; Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease; ultrashort echo time UTE ; T1 mapping; longitudinal relaxation time;

   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

3. 2. Gradient echo-based quantitative MRI of human brain at 7T : Mapping of T1, MT saturation and local flip angle

   Författare :Hampus Olsson; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MR studies; magnetic resonance MR ; 7 Tesla; T1 mapping; magnetization transfer saturation; Flip angle mapping; spoiled gradient echo; MR studies; magnetic resonance MR ; 7T; T1 mapping; magnetization transfer saturation; Flip angle mapping; spoiled gradient echo;

   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.

4. 3. Signal Processing for Spectroscopic Applications

   Författare :Erik Gudmundson; Peter Stoica; Peter Händel; Stoica Stoica; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; spectral estimation; spectroscopic techniques; MRI; NMR; NQR; signal detection; parameter estimation; missing data; non-uniform sampling; damped sinusoids; detection of explosives; T1-mapping; relaxometry; brain imaging; skin imaging; blood velocity estimation; medical ultrasound; Signal processing; Signalbehandling; Elektroteknik med inriktning mot reglerteknik; Electrical Engineering with specialization in Automatic Control;

   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.

5. 4. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance evaluation of effusive and constrictive physiologies

   Författare :Simon Olof Anders Thalén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   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

7. 5. Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Determination of Human Body Composition. Methodological and Applied Studies

   Författare :John Brandberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :X-ray Computed Tomography; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Body Composition; Obesity; Metabolic Syndrome X; Glucose Metabolism; Growth Hormone; Fatty Liver; Intra-Abdominal Fat;

   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
