Mechanical Signals for Compensatory Lung Growth Assessed by High Resolution Computed Tomography
This dissertation involves the use of high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) to understand the role of intra-thoracic mechanical force and its distribution in regenerative growth in dogs i.e. to quantify lobar lung volumes and density gradients in normal and post-pneumonectomy (following lung …

The Cochlear Labyrinth of Krapina Neandertals
… labyrinth of Krapina Neandertals based on ultra high-resolution computed tomography. The cochlea, a membranous, fluid-filled structure, houses the sensory end organ of the auditory system. Located within the inner ear, the cochlea occupies a spiral shaped cavity within the bony labyrinth of the …

Existence of patchiness in constricted lungs : from experiments to complex system modeling
… to occur during an asthma attack. Second, from High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) images of the lung, the effect of longitudinal heterogeneity on resistance to airflow within central airways was studied. Lastly, the relationship between respiratory structure and function estimated from …

Deep Learning Based Approaches For Low Cost Defense Detection
… however, accurate diagnosis often relies on high-resolution computed tomography (CT), which may not be accessible in all clinical settings. Chest radiography provides a lower-cost and widely available imaging modality, but interpretation of chest X-rays for fibrotic disease can be challenging …

Sex and gender in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
… have more airway wall remodeling using data from high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans. We did detect more emphysema in male smokers but there was no evidence of increased airway remodeling in women. We discuss the limits of HRCT to detect airway differences in women and men. In Chapter …

The Association of demographic and physiological variables and risk of subsequent disease progression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
… LOXL2 and fibrosis score from quantitative high-resolution computed tomography and the change in forced vital capacity (L) over 14 weeks (prodromal ΔFVC) from placebo-treated patients, were used to generate predictive models for weeks 14–66 for change in forced vital capacity (FVC), time to …

Modelling the mechanical behaviour of the interface between prosthesis and bone
… cement penetration. The second approach used high resolution computed tomography (CT) images of the microstructure of the interface to create micro finite element (?FE) models of the interface. A cancellous bone analogue was selected and smooth surface models were created. It was shown that …

Deep forward and reverse phenotyping for genetic discovery in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
… BMPR2, TBX4, EIF2AK4, ACVRL1 and AQP1 showed the highest association (PP≥0.99), I also confirmed significant associations in the majority of other previously identified genes. High impact variants in the KDR were associated with a significantly reduced KCO (KCO lower tertile, log(BF) = 11.362, PP …

Developing Subadult Sex Estimation Standards Using Adult Morphological Sex Traits and an Ontogenetic Approach
… Anthropology Database, which is comprised of high-resolution computed tomography scans of contemporary, known subadults to address three specific research aims: Specific Aim #1: Determine the age at which sex traits of the skull and pelvis become dimorphic and reach full expression and …

Interreadervarianz bei der HRCT- und CXR-Befundung in einer Längsschnittstudie bei ehemals asbeststaubexponierten Personen
… formerly asbestos-exposed persons the computer tomography (CT) is gaining an increasing influence besides the standard x-ray scans. A number of studies has been performed to investigate the interreader variance of two observers evaluating radiographic appearances of pneumoconiosis. The following …
