A Diffeomorphic 3D-to-3D Registration Algorithm for the Segmentation of the Left Ventricle in Ultrasound Sequences
DownloadFall 2021
Heart disease is the second leading cause of death in Canada, where it affects the lives of over two million people. One modality used to detect and diagnose heart disease and other abnormalities is echocardiography or ultrasound imaging of the heart. Ultrasound imaging, compared to other...

A Study of Ensemble Machine Learning Model Architectures for Parkinson’s Disease Detection and Freezing of Gait Forecasting
DownloadFall 2021
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a major progressive neurological disorder and is extremely difficult to diagnose PD~\cite{pmid23039866} since there are no defined medical tests for this task. The existing approach involves a combination physical examinations, neuroimaging and demographic analysis...

Advances in Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping for Human Brain: Applications in Hemorrhage, Motion, Blood Vessels
DownloadFall 2022
Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) is an emerging postprocessing method, computed from phase images, which is finding wide application in quantifying iron content in healthy and pathological tissue. However, QSM is still not commonly used in clinical practice. This thesis discusses the...

An experimental investigation of the impact of fat taxes: Price effects, food stigma, and information effects on economic instruments to improve dietary health
DownloadFall 2009
This thesis investigates how a tax and warning label on less healthy snack food products may affect consumer behaviour when the imposition of the tax is a source of consumer information. A survey that included choice experiments was implemented in supermarkets. Participants were asked to choose...
