1. Applications of diffusion MRI: Tensor-valued encoding, time-dependent diffusion, and histological validation
Sammanfattning : Diffusion MRI (dMRI) sensitizes the MR signal to the diffusion of water molecules at the microscopic level and thereby non-invasively probes tissue microstructure. This is relevant when determining biological properties of tissues, for example, cancer type and its malignancy. LÄS MER
2. Atrial fibrillation in aging; methodological aspects and the relation to dementia and cerebral vascular disease
Sammanfattning : Emerging evidence suggest an increased risk of dementia in individuals with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, until recently, few studies have investigated the relation between AF and dementia taking both prevalent and incident stroke into account. LÄS MER
3. Development of dementia in older adults : the body-mind connection
Sammanfattning : Over the past years, two major lines have emerged in the field of dementia research that are focused on: (1) The accurate and early prediction of dementia, and (2) The identification of modifiable factors for dementia prevention. This thesis has contributed to both. LÄS MER
4. The role of atrial fibrillation in cognitive aging : a population-based study
Sammanfattning : The role of atrial fibrillation (AF) in brain and cognitive aging (e.g., cognitive decline and dementia) is still unclear. LÄS MER
