Blood pressure meter
Průdek, Ctirad ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Čech, Petr (advisor)
In my master's tehsis I'm dealin with the methods used for non-invasive blood pressure measurement. For realization of a virtual blood pressure meter in LabVEW I have chosen the oscillometric method. Algorithm determining systolic and diastolic blood pressure is based on the relatively easy detection of maximum amplitude oscillations (corresponds with a mean arterial pressure), when thelimiting valuesof blood pressure are in a specific ratio with a maximum amplitude of oscillation. In LabVIEW was solved loading of signal from the measure card and processing pressure curve into a form suitable for the detection of the peak oscillations. The program calculates the limits of arterial pressure and mean heart rate too. Linking the virtual device with the blood pressure sensor Vernier BPS-BTA then makes up komplex for capturing the blood pressure via oscillatory method.

Software for Processing of Head Position Sensor Data
Slávik, Vladimír ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Čížek, Martin (advisor)
The paper introduces briefly topics of retinal detachment, vitrectomy and applicable postoperative care. A system for increasing patient comfort is described, which continuously records and signalizes head tilt. The software part of aforementioned system is implemented, using C++ Builder programming environment and helper libraries supplied by system's hardware component vendors. This software application allows user to analyze recorded data and manage the system. Application's user interface and usage is described in detail, as well as implementation details concerning internal functions and organization.

Wireless Nurse Care Calling
Bubník, Karel ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Harabiš, Vratislav (advisor)
This work describes the design, construction a performance of such a complete wireless pager suitable for health care centers, rest homes, home application, for example for calling an attendant. This appliance is designed to be easy to attendance. A wireless transceiver is simplified and is attended only by one button. A wireless receiver also doesn't require a complicated manipulation. The aim is to create pager, which will be an useful assistant thanks to its price and simple construction.

EEG Signal Analysis during the Stroop Test
Tolaszová, Eva ; Roman,, Robert (referee) ; Sekora, Jiří (advisor)
Master’s thesis deals with the measurement of biological signals for the effect of psychological burden. To monitor this effect was elected Stroop test, which is in the psychology used to detect disorders of attention and concentration. EEG and ECG signals during Stroop test were obtained using the EEG recording systém, in the context of research evoked potentials. As a part of the work it has been designed custom application for analyzing and interpreting data and statistical analysis by t-test.

Advanced Data Mining in Cardiology
Mézl, Martin ; Provazník, Ivo (referee) ; Sekora, Jiří (advisor)
The aim of this master´s thesis is to analyse and search unusual dependencies in database of patients from Internal Cardiology Clinic Faculty Hospital Brno. The part of the work is theoretical overview of common data mining methods used in medicine, especially decision trees, naive Bayesian classifier, artificial neural networks and association rules. Looking for unusual dependencies between atributes is realized by association rules and naive Bayesian classifier. The output of this work is a complex system for Knowledge discovery in databases process for any data set. This work was realized with collaboration of Internal Cardiology Clinic Faculty Hospital Brno. All programs were made in Matlab 7.0.1.

Wireless Messaging System
Musil, Tomáš ; Dlouhý, Jiří (referee) ; Sekora, Jiří (advisor)
The aim of thesis is a design of wireless pager, that can be used for short text messages transmission from the sender to a particular recipient. The report is sent from a computer via serial port. The application is based on microcontrollers, which provide data protection, evaluation and display data on the display of the receiver. The wireless transmission is effected via the RF modules, that are powered from batteries.

Preprocessing of ophthalmology images for image registration
Orešanská, Hana ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Harabiš, Vratislav (advisor)
The aim of my thesis was research of the ophthalmology images processing. These methods contains image filtration, detection of important points in the image and registration. Image adjustment and the follow up registration is very important to find some deseases (e.g. glaucoma, where is a change of nervous threads going from retina ). For the image changes and registrations was made computer programme (Matlab, Graphical User Interface), where the user can try the different methods decribed in teoretical part of thesis.

Analysis of AVG signals
Musil, Václav ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Rozman, Jiří (advisor)
The presented thesis discusses the basic analysis methods of arteriovelocitograms. The core of this work rests in classification of signals and contribution to possibilities of noninvasive diagnostic methods for evaluation patients with peripheral ischemic occlusive arterial disease. The classification employs multivariate statistical methods and principles of neural networks. The data processing works with an angiographic verified set of arteriovelocitogram dates. The digital subtraction angiography classified them into 3 separable classes in dependence on degree of vascular stenosis. Classification AVG signals are represented in the program by the 6 parameters that are measured on 3 different places on each patient’s leg. Evaluation of disease appeared to be a comprehensive approach at signals acquired from whole patient’s leg. The sensitivity of clustering method compared with angiography is between 82.75 % and 90.90 %, specificity between 80.66 % and 88.88 %. Using neural networks sensitivity is in range of 79.06 % and 96.87 %, specificity is in range of 73.07 % and 91.30 %.

HC08 Microcontroller Development Kit
Hájek, Ondřej ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Čížek, Martin (advisor)
Presented bachelor degree programme is aimed on design and implementation of a development board for Freescale HC908QB8 microcontroller from HC08 family. The board will allow the user to test a variety of typical microcontroller applications including temperature measurement, intelligent LCD interfacing and I2C bus communication. The development board can be programmed using universal DBG08 serial programmer. Care was taken to minimize the probability of an accidental misconnection causing potential damage to the circuit, which makes the device suitable for educational purposes.

Evaluation of patient dose in mammography
Polášková, Markéta ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Kolářová, Jana (advisor)
Breast cancer presents serious epidemiological problem, in result of which die more than 2 000 czech women every year. Screening mammography is one of the most expanded and most effective examinations for early detection of this desease but one has to take into account an inconsiderable risk connected with the procedure based on X-ray ionizing radiation. This diploma thesis deals with evaluation of the dose absorbed by the tissue. It contains the description of evaluation of the average dose in glandular tissue on PMMA phantom, as well as results of the measurements on conventional and digital mammograph. A data file with exposure parameters from mammography screening is included and interpreted. Also the Monte Carlo method was used for the dose evaluation, the thesis contains the brief description of the method, concept of analysis model in mammography and results of simulations.
