(2008-08-03)Department: Biomedical EngineeringThis thesis is concerned with the quantification of cardiac longitudinal relaxation (T1) at 3.0 T. Normal and hyperoxic T1 are quantified in the myocardium and left ventricular blood pool of healthy volunteers using the ...
-
(2016-11-21)Department: Biomedical InformaticsBreast cancer patients suffer from the symptoms of their illness as well as from burden of treatment imposed by their care. Patients with high levels of burden tend to be less compliant with treatment plans resulting in ...
-
(2012-06-05)Department: Biomedical EngineeringCell motility plays an important role in development, wound healing and cancer progression. A fundamental unresolved challenge in the field is to obtain reliable measures of motility metrics from single cells and then ...
-
(2014-11-24)Department: Chemical and Physical BiologyIntratumor heterogeneity underlies the failure of targeted cancer therapy. The origins of this phenotypic variability derive from the coincident contributions of genetic, non-genetic, and stochastic factors. However, few ...
-
(2016-11-29)Department: Cancer BiologyIn spite of recent advances in therapy, cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide. Therapy response is often unpredictable and relapse frequently occurs. In many cases, this therapy resistance is attributed to ...
-
(2012-04-21)Department: Electrical EngineeringLevodopa remains the most effective medication for Parkinson’s disease. Prolonged use of levodopa leads to a side effect called dyskinesia that is characterized by abnormal involuntary movements. The assessment of dyskinesia ...
