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...

Airborne particulate matter and a western style diet as potential environmental factors in the pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
DownloadFall 2012
Inflammatory bowel disease is believed to occure in response to environmental factors resulting in immune dysregulation in genetically predisposed individuals. Such environmental factors include diet, (specifically a “western diet”rich in refined sugars, and fat) and airborne particulate matter...

An Alternative Prophylaxis for Deep Vein Thrombosis Using Intermittent Electrical Stimulation
DownloadFall 2019
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that typically forms in the deep veins of the lower body and is the third most common cardiovascular disease, after myocardial infarction and stroke, in the world today. One of the causes of DVT, is the slow movement or stoppage of blood flow, known as...
