Abstract:

With the vast array of genetically altered (knockout) mice becoming available there is a need for quantitative, repeatable, and efficient methodologies to characterize the phenotypic consequences of knocking out specific genes. Since knockout animals often have the ability to compensate for a single missing gene, it is important to examine the structural, material and morphological properties to obtain a thorough understanding of the changes occurring. For this project, femurs of knockout mice were first scanned using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) to obtain high-resolution images of th

Abstract:

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) shows promising results in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors. These tumors over-express somatostatin receptors that allow us to label somatostatin analogues with ¹⁷⁷Lu to deliver dose to the tumor. However, currently every patient receives the same amount of radioactivity of approximately 7400 MBq per treatment cycle. With this “one dose fits all” approach, differences between patients are not taken into account resulting in some being under-treated while others over-treated. The aim of this thesis was to develop a simple protocol for ¹⁷⁷Lu ac

Abstract:

State-of-the-art imaging equipment has increased clinician's ability to make non-invasive diagnoses of coronary heart disease (CHD); however, high volumes of imaging data make manual abnormality detection cumbersome in practice. In addition, the interpretation of CTA heavily relies upon the previous knowledge of the clinician. These limitations have driven an intense research in the context of automated solutions for fast, reliable and accurate diagnosis. Accordingly, in this thesis, we present an automated framework for detection, localization and quantification of the non-calcified coronary

Les maladies coronariennes constituent l'ensemble des troubles affectant les artères coronaires. Elles sont la première cause mondiale de mortalité. Par conséquent, la détection précoce de ces maladies en utilisant des techniques peu invasives fournit un meilleur résultat thérapeutique, et permet de réduire les coûts et les risques liés à une approche interventionniste. Des études récentes ont montré que la tomodensitométrie peut être utilisée comme une alternative non invasive et fiable pour localiser et quantifier ces lésions.

Abstract:

Work was undertaken in this thesis to assess the use of somatostatin image quantification with SPET and SPET-CT to aid the characterisation of disease within the body. Two radionuclide somatostatin analogues were used for this assessment, the first was NeoSPECT and the second, OctreoScan. The primary aim of work in this thesis was to assess the role of NeoSPECT imaging in the characterisation of disease within the lungs, that is, to differentiate benign from malignant disease. Two forms of image quantification were used in the NeoSPECT assessment, a tumour to background ratio (T:B) and a value

This thesis presents an automated framework for quantitative vascular shape analysis of the coronary arteries, which constitutes an important and fundamental component of an automated image-based diagnostic system. Firstly, an automated vessel segmentation algorithm is developed to extract the coronary arteries based on the framework of active contours. Both global and local intensity statistics are utilised in the energy functional calculation, which allows for dealing with non-uniform brightness conditions, while evolving the contour towards to the desired boundaries without being trapped in

Abstract:

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disease of unknown aetiology and with a high mortality rate.

Quantitative imaging of PET tracer uptake in the lung tissue of patients with any diffuse pulmonary disease is highly challenging due to the effects of breathing and the large pulm

Abstract:

Emphysema, a subset of COPD, occurs due to an abnormal inflammatory response to noxious gases or particles leading an influx of immunologic cells. Recent studies have demonstrated endothelial dysfunction in COPD subjects and are suggestive of a vascular phenotype present in COPD that is not fully characterized. We hypothesize that processes affecting the pulmonary vasculature lead to early changes important in the pathogenesis of COPD.

Abstract:

Nowadays, lung cancer assessment is a complex and tedious task mainly per- formed by radiological visual inspection of suspicious pulmonary nodules, using computed tomography (CT) scan images taken to patients over time. Several computational tools relying on conventional artificial intelligence and computer vision algorithms have been proposed for supporting lung cancer de- tection and classification. These solutions mostly rely on the analysis of indi- vidual lung CT images of patients and on the use of hand-crafted image de- scriptors. Unfortunately, this makes them unable to cope
