1. Prospects for a Free Electron Laser at the FemtoMAX Beamline
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenSammanfattning : A Free Electron Laser (FEL), is a device that generates extremely coherent and brilliant radiation using electrons accelerated to relativistic velocities in a particle accelerator. The process utilises similar equipment to what is used at a synchrotron source like MAX IV, but in addition there is an interaction between the relativistic electron beam and the generated radiation to achieve an exponential growth in radiation intensity.

2. Evaluating aperture shape controller (ASC) in modulated radiation treatments
Master-uppsats,Sammanfattning : To decrease aperture complexity, the aperture shape controller (ASC) is a recently introduced function in Eclipse external beam planning (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, USA). ASC works within the photon optimizer, minimizing distances between adjacent leaf tips of the MLC. LÄS MER
3. Anatomical segmentation of the human brain: comparative assessment of two automatic methods
Master-uppsats,Sammanfattning : Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a robust and versatile imaging modality and an integral component of a lot of studies, especially when performing quantitative analysis. MRI is the preferred method of imaging the brain because of its excellent soft tissue contrast. LÄS MER
4. Apoptosis induction in breast cancer cells after radiotherapy and potential radiosensitizers
Master-uppsats,Sammanfattning : Background. Today breast cancer is the foremost cancer death type amongst women around the world. At present some of the toughest challenges in the clinic is recurrent, radioresistant breast cancer, and metastatic breast cancer where low cure rates are observed after surgery and radiotherapy.

5. Preprocessing for intravoxel incoherent motion analysis in the brain - Signal drift correction
Master-uppsats,Sammanfattning : Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a diagnostic imaging technique that is sensitized to the movement of water molecules in tissues. Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) analysis can be used to estimate blood flow in capillaries from weakly diffusion-weighted data. LÄS MER
