1. 6. Contributions to Signal Processing for MRI

   Författare :Marcus Björk; Peter Stoica; Andreas Jakobsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Parameter estimation; efficient estimation algorithms; non-convex optimization; multicomponent T2 relaxometry; artifact reduction; T2 mapping; denoising; phase estimation; RF design; MR thermometry; in-vivo brain; Elektroteknik med inriktning mot signalbehandling; Electrical Engineering with specialization in Signal Processing;

   Sammanfattning : Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an important diagnostic tool for imaging soft tissue without the use of ionizing radiation. Moreover, through advanced signal processing, MRI can provide more than just anatomical information, such as estimates of tissue-specific physical properties. LÄS MER

3. 7. Quantifying image quality in diagnostic radiology using simulation of the imaging system and model observers

   Författare :Gustaf Ullman; Michael Sandborg; Gudrun Alm Carlsson; Nicolas Pallikarakis; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiology; radiation physics; image quality; optimisation; effective dose; chest radiography; Radiological physics; Radiofysik;

   Sammanfattning : Accurate measures of both clinical image quality and patient radiation risk are needed for successful optimisation of medical imaging with ionising radiation. Optimisation in diagnostic radiology means finding the image acquisition technique that maximises the perceived information content and minimises the radiation risk or keeps it at a reasonably low level.

4. 8. Development of methods for evaluation and optimization of chest tomosynthesis

   Författare :Angelica Svalkvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Chest tomosynthesis; Evaluation; Optimization; Simulation; Image Quality; Dosimetry; Dose reduction; Nodule simulation; Validation;

   Sammanfattning : Tomosynthesis is a low-dose technique that has attracted increasing interest from the medical imaging community during the past decade. Tomosynthesis refers to the technique of acquiring a number of projection radiographs using extremely low exposure over a limited angular range, and using these radiographs to reconstruct slices of the imaged object.

5. 9. Manifolds in Image Science and Visualization

   Författare :Anders Brun; Hans Knutsson; Magnus Herberthson; Carl-Fredrik Westin; Roland Wilson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; manifold learning; image analysis; signal processing; diffusion tensor mri; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

   Sammanfattning : A Riemannian manifold is a mathematical concept that generalizes curved surfaces to higher dimensions, giving a precise meaning to concepts like angle, length, area, volume and curvature. A glimpse of the consequences of a non-flat geometry is given on the sphere, where the shortest path between two points – a geodesic – is along a great circle. LÄS MER

7. 10. Development, validation and application of advanced neuroimaging analysis tools for in vivo neuroreceptor studies

   Författare :Zsolt Cselényi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :PET; neuroreceptor; multi-receptor analysis; kinetic analysis; parametric imaging; wavelet filtering; artificial neural network; unsupervised cluster analysis;

   Sammanfattning : Positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging technology, which can be used to study neuroreceptors in the human brain in vivo. The technique estimates the regional binding of radiolabelled ligands to neuroreceptors and the data are commonly displayed as images showing the distribution of radioactivity in the brain volume.
