Wojtek, Lukáš ; Valášek, Jiří (referee) ; Marcián, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the problematics of determining mechanical properties of cranial bone tissue. In this thesis a search study associated with an experimental determination of mechanical properties of bone tissues is executed. A brief history and progress of imaging methods and their importance of computation modelling are introduced. There are descriptions of histomorfometric parameters describing a structure of bone tissue at the micro level, ways of their computation and their impact on mechanical properties of bone tissue. Practical part of the thesis is focused on processing micro-CT images of cranial bone as well as analysing histomorfometric parameters (BV/TV, TbTh, TbSp) and subsequently stress strain analysis of selected sections of cranial bone tissue. Resulting Young´s modulus of elasticity of bone tissue [MPa] are compared with results from experiments from literature.

Emerging Trends in Dendrochronology
Horáček, Tomáš ; Neuwirthová, Ludmila (referee) ; Mikulka, Jan (advisor)
Tato práce se zabývá popisem současných a experimentálních metod odběru vzorků pomocí presslerova nebozezu, výřezů z kmene, fotografie, rentgenu, počítačové tomografie a magnetické rezonance na poli dendrochronologického výzkumu. V práci jsou rozebírány destruktivní a nedesktruktivní metody odběru vzorků. Je také kladen důraz na původ vzorků: zdali je možno využít destruktivní metody nebo zdali je to nemožné jako v případě vzácných archeologických objektů. Dále popisuje standardní optometrickou metody a další experimentální metody fungujicí na principu kontranstního zpracování obrazu za účelem rozeznání letokruhů. V práci jsou také popsány různé druhy metod softwarového zpracovnání kde jako vstup slouží buď série dat nebo obraz letokruhů. Další rozdíly tvoří vymezené spektrum uvedených prací, některé práce se zaměřují na zpracování obrazu od píky tedy od pořízené fotografie až po hotové datovaní, některé však zajímá pouze úzký sektor dendrochronologie jako jsou například vady či špatně rozeznatelné letokruhy.

Utilisation of phase contrast in X-ray computed tomography
Kalasová, Dominika ; Švéda,, Libor (referee) ; Zikmund, Tomáš (advisor)
X-ray computed tomography is a nondestructive method for 3D imaging of inner structure of objects; it is, however, restricted by absorption properties of materials. With phase contrast imaging, observation of samples with low absorption or with parts with similar absorption becomes possible. For a long time, phase contrast imaging has been restricted to synchrotron radiation sources or special techniques due to requirement of spatial coherence of radiation. Along with recent development of X-ray micro and nanofocus tubes and X-ray detectors a phase contrast imaging becomes available also with laboratory sources. In this work an overview of phase contrast imaging methods is given, with an emphassis on propagation based method. Examples of this method and application of phase retrieval algorithm on samples from RIGAKU Nano3DX and GE phoenix v|tome|x L240 stations within Laboratory of X-ray micro and nanotomography CEITEC BUT are shown.

Creating a computational model of the human vocal tract
Freiwald, Michal ; Hájek, Petr (referee) ; Švancara, Pavel (advisor)
The research part of this bachelor’s thesis consists of a brief introduction to the human respiratory system and its subsidiary vocal subsystem along with a summary of basic phonation theories, voice disorders and published computational models of the human vocal tract. The experimental part engages in the making of the computational model itself, set to pronunciation of the vowel /a:/ in a woman vocal tract, on which, using finite element method, some of the basic acoustic analyses are performed, such as modal analysis or harmonic analysis. Calculated formants correspond with the values published in literature. Several different methods were analyzed while computing harmonic response. The most complex and the most time-consuming method, using infinite elements, also proved to be the most precise one. Thesis gives a decent comparison of the precision and complexity between the used methods.

Development and use of non-destructive testing methods from the point of view of forensic engineering
Bílek, Petr ; Vala, Jiří (referee) ; Vodička, Jan (referee) ; Hobst, Leonard (advisor)
Concretes reinforced by, using distributed steel reinforcements (fibres) are known as fibre-concrete. In case of disturbances or accidents of concrete structures reinforced with wires, it is necessary to carefully examine the actual implementation of dispersed reinforcement. Fibre concretes belong to modern building materials whose possible applications have not been fully utilized so far. Have been mainly used for floor structures loaded with factory halls and warehouses. Recently, thanks to well-known physical and mechanical properties of fibre-concrete, there were numerous attempts of designers, and namely investors, to utilize this kind of materials for support structures either. Favorable properties of wire-concrete can be utilized if there is a necessity to increase the resistance of concrete to stresses exceeding its strength, cyclic stress or impact stress. Daily practice shows to prove that the applications of fibre-concrete in such structures lead to the economic success. Necessary condition for successful application of steel fiber reinforced concrete in constructions however consists in its uniform dispersion, a homogeneous distribution of the wires throughout the volume of the structure. In case of inappropriate processing and deposition of the mixture during the manufacturing process fiber-concrete structures, the fibers are often unevenly distributed. Wires itself represent unfavourably shaped mixture components and they are extremely deteriorating its workability. A grouping of wires may be encountered as well, which reduces the overall homogeneity and the quality of steel fiber-concrete structures. If the homogeneity of fibre-concrete is not kept, the material possess different properties in various parts of the structure (for example, tensile strength), which can lead to defects in the structure (generation and development of cracks). The relevant lower reliability of the structure which is caused by unequal distribution of fibres (wires) in concrete volume can lead to damage of the property as well as the safety and the human lives can be jeopardized. Hence it is necessary to secure the effective control of the fibre-concrete homogeneity in ready support fibre-concrete structures. Contemporary homogeneity control is still ongoing on fresh blends, but if the fibre-concrete hardened and is a part of the construction, no known reliable methods are currently in available to test the homogeneity of the fibre-concrete on the structure without its destruction. The methods developed to control the concentration of wires in wire-concrete structures are based mostly on magnetic or electromagnetic properties of wires. The thesis deals with the development of the magnetic method in situ using permanent magnets for monitoring the distribution of fibers in hardened steel fiber-concrete structures. The test principle is based on measurements of the changes in magnetic field strength of permanent magnets which are induced by a change in wire distribution in steel fibre-concrete structure. Test is characterized as a so called local- failure- test using a small diameter core drill. In this sense it is a semi-destructive method.

Quality control of injection molded plastics using X-ray computer tomography
Figar, Erik ; Šrámek, Jan (referee) ; Jankových, Róbert (advisor)
This Master‘s thesis deals with an aplication of computed tomography as the technology for quality control check of the plastic parts made by the injection molding process. The analyses were performed on two different types of plastic parts. These parts were delivered by two companies and they included the drawing documentation and CAD models. These plastic parts were analyzed according to their qualitative requirements. The analyses included evaluation of the geometric tolerances and porosity analysis with numerical and graphical evaluation. The new module for tool correction ,which is part of VGStudio Max, was tested on parts that were not in accordance with the required tolerances. Afterwards the new corrected geometries were exported. At the end of this Master’s thesis the porosity comparison was assessed between two different voxel resolution CT data. This comparison shows the complexity of this phenomenon and the importance of voxel resolution settings.

This dissertation thesis deals with the methods for processing image data in X-ray microtomography and digital holographic microscopy. The work aims to achieve significant acceleration of algorithms for tomographic reconstruction and image reconstruction in holographic microscopy by means of optimization and the use of massively parallel GPU. In the field of microtomography, the new GPU (graphic processing unit) accelerated implementations of filtered back projection and back projection filtration of derived data are presented. Another presented algorithm is the orientation normalization technique and evaluation of 3D tomographic data. In the part related to holographic microscopy, the individual steps of the complete image processing procedure are described. This part introduces the new orignal technique of phase unwrapping and correction of image phase damaged by the occurrence of optical vortices in the wrapped image phase. The implementation of the methods for the compensation of the phase deformation and for tracking of cells is then described. In conclusion, there is briefly introduced the Q-PHASE software, which is the complete bundle of all the algorithms necessary for the holographic microscope control, and holographic image processing.

X-ray computed tomography analysis of mouse embryonic heart
Dobrovodská, Daniela ; Oberta, Peter (referee) ; Zikmund, Tomáš (advisor)
Rentgenová počítačová tomografie je univerzální technika umožňující nedestruktivní trojrozměrné (3D) zobrazování. Je široce používána v průmyslu pro metrologii a charakterizaci materiálů. V poslední době našla svůj význam také v biologii a vývojové vědě, kde 3D rekonstruovaná data poskytují komplexnější informace o vzorku než konvenční 2D zobrazovací metody. Kromě toho může vytvářet vysoce kvalitní snímky různých biologických vzorků. Překážkou při zobrazování biologických vzorků může být velmi podobný koeficient útlumu měkkých tkání, a proto je nutné použít barvení chemickou látkou. Tato práce si klade za cíl pomocí mikropočítačové tomografie vizualizovat a kvalitativně vyhodnotit srdce embryonálních myší E17.5 a představit nejlepší barvící protokol. Dále byla zavedena metodika pro zvýraznění rozdílů mezi myší divokého typu a mutantem. Rigaku nano 3DX byl použit pro experimenty s mezi-komorovou přepážkou myšího srdce a po nastavení specifických parametrů zařízení byl použit algoritmus pro zvýraznění fáze. Nakonec byla provedena validace $\mu$ CT dat se snímkami z konfokálního mikroskopu.

Prášilová, Eva ; Valášek, Jiří (referee) ; Marcián, Petr (advisor)
The first part of the bachelor´s thesis is dealt with the processing history of imaging techniques and their indications in a clinical practice. From point of view of the computer modeling, the computer tomography plays an important role in biomechanics. The second part of this treatment describes the scan processing of sections of two human mandible obtained from computer CT and micro-CT tomography. As a non-invasive way procedure can be characterized the image processing techniques, which analyze a bone density and BVF. The manual segmentation was applied in this analysis provided in ROI analysis software. There are shown the graphs of the bone densities of segments of two human mandibles depending on the specimen length and also there are compared the results of the measurements received from the CT and micro-CT tomography. Then follow the results illustrating the correlation of the relations and recalculations, which can be used as the determination tool of the mechanical properties of bone tissue. Finally there are described the computer models created in ANSYS focused on the different bone density analysis and stress strain analysis.
