Quantification of Perfusion using MRI ASL Methods
Kolajová, Martina ; Mézl, Martin (referee) ; Jiřík, Radovan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with quantification of perfusion using a contrast-free MRI technique called „Arterial Spin Labeling“ (ASL). Firstly, the physical principle of magnetic resonance imaging and the concept of perfusion will be described for better understanding of the subject. The next chapters will focus on the ASL method itself and perfusion quantification using mathematical models, namely T1 perfusion and Standard. The algorithm for preprocessing and analysis of selected datasets, designed in the thesis, is implemented using the program MATLAB. Program BASIL was used for further processing. The outputs in the form of perfusion and ATT maps and model fitting processes using various models from both programs are compared and evaluated.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy: application in a study of transient species in discharge and ablation plasma
Kubelík, Petr ; Civiš, Svatopluk (advisor) ; Wild, Jan (referee) ; Rohlena, Karel (referee)
The present dissertation consists of two thematically related parts. The first one (includes two publications) deals with the study of chemical pro- cesses and spectroscopy of highly reactive particles produced in the discharge plasma. This part includes the analysis of ro-vibronic CN radical transitions in the infrared region and the study of chemical reactions in pulsed dischar- ges. The discharge was used as a tool for research of decomposition of simple precursors (acetonitrile, formamide and BrCN) and the subsequent formation of intermediates and reaction products in plasma. The obtained experimental results were interpreted using a numerical model developed in context of this work and used to simulate the kinetics of the studied systems. The second part (includes seven works) is aimed at high-resolved spectro- scopy of metals in the ablation plasma. A total of six different metals were studied: Au, Ag, Cu, Cs, K and Na. The main motivation for spectroscopic research on metals in the infrared region is to obtain information on atomic metals transitions, which are particularly important for astronomical identi- fication of lines in the spectra of stars and their spectroscopic assignments. Each publication contains a summary of the analyzed atomic transitions of which a considerable portion had not...

Kinetika doznívání scintilačních krystalů pro detektory elektronů v SEM
Schauer, Petr
A study of the decay kinetics of YAG:Ce single crystal scintillators for SEM is presented in this paper. The principal quantities of image quality in SEM are contrast, spatial resolution, and noise. However, to quantify the overall performance of an imaging system, the detective quantum efficiency (DQE) is a better tool as it includes both the modulation transfer function and the noise power spectrum. This means that for a detector to have high DQE, it should possess not only high efficiency and low noise, but also good kinetic properties. Utilizing of the cathodoluminescence decay results, a schematic kinetic model of radiative and nonradiative transitions in the YAG:Ce single crystals is presented.
