Evaluation of the effect of breast implants on the accuracy of the CT attenuation Correction (CTAC) map for SPECT/CT myocardial perfusion imaging: a phantom study (2022)
Thesis
Alanezi, A. Evaluation of the effect of breast implants on the accuracy of the CT attenuation Correction (CTAC) map for SPECT/CT myocardial perfusion imaging: a phantom study. (Thesis). University of Salford

Background: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using single photon emission computed
tomography (SPECT) imaging can assess myocardial viability and perfusion. However,
overlying thoracic structures, such as ribs or breast tissue lead to gamma ray a... Read More about Evaluation of the effect of breast implants on the accuracy of the CT attenuation Correction (CTAC) map for SPECT/CT myocardial perfusion imaging: a phantom study.

How to build better fall detection technology : a search for characteristics unique to falls and methods to robustly evaluate performance (2020)
Thesis
Broadley, R. How to build better fall detection technology : a search for characteristics unique to falls and methods to robustly evaluate performance. (Thesis). University of Salford

Falls can have severe consequences for older adults, such as bone fractures and long periods unable to get up from the ground, known as a long-lie. The capability to automatically detect falls would reduce long-lies through ensuring prompt arrival of...

Using magneto-inertial-measurement-units to track upper-limb movement during rehabilitation (2020)
Thesis
Al-ani, A. Using magneto-inertial-measurement-units to track upper-limb movement during rehabilitation. (Thesis). University of Salford

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) can be used to support upper-limb rehabilitation after a stroke. A key aspect of FES control and also patient monitoring is the automatic tracking of upper-limb motion during intensive and functional practise o...

A surface electrode array-based system for functional electrical stimulation (2008)
Thesis
Sha, N. A surface electrode array-based system for functional electrical stimulation. (Thesis). University of Salford

The goal of this thesis is to develop an electrode array-based functional electrical stimulation (FES) system for foot drop correction. The thesis reports a series of studies on the design and development of an electrode array, describes how these re...

Visuomotor behaviours during functional task performance with a myoelectric prosthesis
Thesis
Sobuh, M. Visuomotor behaviours during functional task performance with a myoelectric prosthesis. (Thesis). University of Salford

Myoelectric hand prostheses are controlled via electromyographic (EMG) signals measured at the residual forearm musculature. Active functional use requires control of force and motion of the prosthetic hand in the absence of proprioceptive and tactil...
