Transport properties of agarose hydrogels
Vlasák, Jan ; Kalina, Michal (referee) ; Klučáková, Martina (advisor)
This thesis deals with the transportation processes of electrolytes using simple organic dyes as diffuse probes. The main goal of the work concerns a study of a diffusion mobility of the selected probes being in a form of simple organic dyes in a hydro-gel matrix based on a thermo-reversible linear polysaccharide, i.e., agaroses, functioning as semi-permeable membranes. The thesis describe diffusion processes used for determination of the basic diffusion parameters such as an efficient diffusion coefficient, reputed diffusion coefficient, separating coefficient, concentration of the dye in a gel and the time needed for the diffusion going throughout the entire layer of the gel. Attention is paid also to the environment in which the diffusion processes are implemented (in particular in view of the gel-like samples), porousness of the structure and its mechanical properties.

Analysis of pathological brain tissue from MRI data
Širůčková, Kateřina ; Bartušek, Karel (referee) ; Marcoň, Petr (advisor)
Due to the high resolution of soft tissue, magnetic resonance imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and therapy planning in the neurosurgery field whereas it is necessary to determine which pathology in the brain tissue is involved. Glioblastoma multiforme, metastatic tumours, lymphomas, and abscesses are examined in detail from magnetic resonance images. In clinical practice, all mentioned pathologies are diagnosed through invasive methods in the form of biopsy followed by histology of the affected tissue. This work is focused on an alternative non-invasive method of tumour diagnosis. The method is based on the data analysis from defined curves (drawn into the apparent diffusion images) that lead from the tumour area through peritumoral edema, up to healthy tissue. The analysis of descending and ascending parts of the curve could lead to non-invasive diagnostics of the pathological tissue.
