Motivationen med studien var den alldeles för höga stråldosen som används vid CTundersökningar. I de allra flesta fallen anpassas man inte rörströmmen efter patientens storlek och därmed får smalare patienter en onödigt hög stråldos. Målet var att reducera stråldosen till patienter som undersöks med datortomografi utan att minska på bildkvalité, genom att anpassa rörströmmen efter patientens stoIn this study we have investigated the possibilities of dose reduction in CT at a constant level of image quality by adjustment of the tube current to the phantom size. The motivation with the study is the high radiation doses to the patients and the increasing frequency of CT examinations and the variety of examinations in CT, and that the same tube current is used for different patient sizes.

Upprinnelsen till detta examensarbete var att Otis Stockholm, som också leder den svenska verksamheten, saknade en processkarta för nymontageavdelning. Försök hade gjorts tidigare med att göra en processkartläggning, men man hade då inte kommit hela vägen. Man ville nu från ledningens håll ha en karta på processen så att alla gjorde på samma sätt från projekt till projekt. Processen var uppdelad iThe impetus for this thesis was the identification of the need for a process map for processing new equipment within Otis Sweden. The company had tried before to map their process but had not fully developed the model. This time managers wanted a process map to stabilize the process of managing employees to ensure consistency across projects. The process has been spit in two functions, the sales a

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Kvävekoncentrationen i den gröna biomassan hos vegetation är involverad i många olika biokemiska processer i det terrestra ekosystemet. Till exempel så påverkar den fotosyntesen, förmultning och evaportanspirationen, för att nämna några. Därför är den också ofta en av grundparametrarna och drivkraften i olika ekosystem-modeller. Att mäta kvävehalten hos blad/barNitrogen in the green biomass of vegetation plays an important role in many biochemical processes in the terrestrial ecosystems, and often used as an input parameter to ecosystem models. It strongly influences photosynthetic rate, decomposition, and evaportanspiration, to name a few. Measuring nitrogen in field involves a lot of time and money, and it would be valuable if this part of the data col
