A Nalysis of M Edical I

A large number of medical examinations involve images in some way. Images can be used for diagnostics, follow-up studies and treatment planning. In this thesis mathematical methods have been developed and adapted in order to analyze medical images. Several applications for different imaging modalities have been studied and the usefulness of such methods is demonstrated. A complete system for de...

Chapter 4 B IOFOULING AND A NTI - FOULING OF M EDICAL D EVICES

Biofouling of medical devices involves the formation of a biofilm by bacteria. The infecting bacteria produce extensive exopolysaccharides to form a confluent biofilm. Bacteria within a biofilm can be 1,000 times more resistant to antimicrobials than their planktonic counterparts and less susceptible to host immune systems. According to an estimate by the NIH (USA), about 80% of all human bacte...
