Living kidney donation is a clinical situation with unique features in the sense that healthy individuals voluntarily expose themselves to certain risks and inconveniences. Therefore, eliminating as much of the associated discomfort as possible is crucial. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate whether it is possible to use the examination with computed tomography (CT)
Image enhancement in 2 dimension is actually a famous and used approach. However the technologies in image acquisition have developed and these techniques usually offer image volumes in 3 or more dimensions, as in computer tomography, CT and magnetic resonance imaging, MRI.
Methods for assessment of body composition allow studies of the complex relationships between body composition and the wellbeing of humans. The amount and distribution of adipose tissue is of great importance in these studies. This thesis describes, proposes, and evaluates new methods
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a very versatile imaging modality which can be used to acquire several different types of images. Some examples include anatomical images, images showing local brain activation and images depicting different types of pathologies. Brain activation is detected
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
Digital image analysis is the field of extracting relevant information from digital images. Recent developments in imaging techniques have made 3-dimensional volume images more common. This has created a need to extend existing 2D image analysis tools to handle images of higher
Turbulence is described by its main characteristics that are irregularity in time and space In hydromechanics, turbulence is referred to as chaotic movement superimposed on the flow of a fluid In the human body, turbulence typically arises in flows through heart valve
Title: Simulation of Phase Contrast MRI Measurements from Numerical Flow Data Phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) is a powerful tool for measuring blood flow and has a wide range of cardiovascular applications. Simulation of PC-MRI from numerical flow data would be useful
The stethoscope is a recognized icon for the medical profession, and for a long time, physicians have relied on auscultation for detection and characterization of cardiac disease. New advances in cardiac imaging have however changed this picture. Echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging
Multidimensional signals are generated in a large area of applications. In health care, such signals are used extensively and are generated with imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultra-sound imaging. These techniques produce large data sets
