The use of ultrasound in the prediction of endometrial cancer in women with postmenopausal bleeding
… and 3D SCSH was the presence of at least one focal lesion with an irregular surface (for 2D SCSH the AUC was 0.84, for 3D SCSH the AUC was 0.70). The mathematical models to estimate the individual risk of endometrial malignancy constructed in this thesis are likely to be useful for …

Small lesion detection with resolution enhancement compression: a method of coded excitation/pulse compression
… was examined for its ability to improve lesion detectability. In addition to lesion detectability, the REC technique was examined in the context of being peak voltage limited or peak pressure limited. The REC technique was used to double the –3-dB fractional pulse-echo bandwidth of an …

A tissue engineering strategy for integrative cartilage repair
… and growth factors can be supplied directly to a focal lesion. However, integrating neo-tissue with native cartilage to provide mechanical and biological continuity at the interface remains a challenge due to the limited regenerative capacity of the tissue. In an effort to improve integration, …

Requirements for the detection of atherosclerosis lesions in carotid arteries with SPECT
Detecting the metabolic state of atherosclerotic lesions is a promise of nuclear medicine imaging. Several researchers are developing radiopharmaceuticals for atherosclerosis imaging. In this thesis, we provided procedural guidelines to detect carotid lesions with single photon ,Emission Computed …

The Role of the Multiple-Demand System in Fluid Intelligence and Selective Attention: Insights from Lesion and Neuroimaging Studies
… studies, I draw on evidence from patients with focal brain lesions and healthy adults using neuropsychology, functional neuroimaging (functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG)), and multivariate pattern analysis techniques to investigate the role of the MD …
