Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool for diagnostics in medical imaging, where diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI is a modality used for probing tissue microstructure and function at a molecular level. Due to poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spatial resolution in DW-MRI, the noise floor typically induces a large signal bias by elevating the signal intensity. This bias affects the accur

I den semi-självbiografiska "À l’ami qui ne m’a pas sauvé la vie" skriver Hervé Guibert, som en av de första i Frankrike, offentligt om sin aids. Han avslöjar bland annat att filosofen Michel Foucault dog i sjukdomen. Guibert blev känd tack vare detta avslöjande men också på grund av sin mycket ärliga beskrivning av att leva med denna dödsdom. I undersökningen tittar jag närmare på hur GIn the semi-autobiographical "À l’ami qui ne m’a pas sauvé la vie" Hervé Guibert writes, as one of the first in France, publicly about his AIDS. He reveals, among other things, that the philosopher Michel Foucault died in the same disease.
