2013:31 Aesthetic ultrasound devices – current state of knowledge and suggested measurement set-up for characterization of exposure
This report concerns the ultrasound devices used for the aesthetic purposes of body contouring and fat reduction (ablation of adipose tissue). Such devices have recently become more frequent on the Swedish market. These ultrasound devices are currently not medically regulated in Sweden and little is known about their safety and potentially harmful exposure when using them. This report aims to...

2012:20 Report from SSM’s scientific council on ionizing radiation within oncology, 2011
Many cancer patients are treated in accordance with written guidelines or clinical trial protocols. The scientific council states that the radiotherapy part in those guidelines and protocols is less well specified than other therapies such as surgery and chemotherapy. This report identifies the key aspects of modern radiotherapy from international radiotherapy organisations and scientific...

2009:17 Effect of Welding Residual Stresses on Crack Opening Displacement and Crack-Tip Parameters
Weld residual stresses have a large influence on the behavior of cracks growing under normal operation loads and on the leakage-flow from a through-wall crack. Accurate prediction of these events is important in order to arrive at proper conclusions when assessing detected flaws, for inspection planning and for assessment of leak-before-break margins. The fracture mechanical treatment of weld...

2009:16 Influence of Hardening Model on Weld Residual Stress Distribution
Weld residual stresses have a large influence on the behavior of cracks growing under normal operation loads and on the leakage-flow from a through-wall crack. Accurate prediction of these events is important in order to arrive at proper conclusions when assessing detected flaws, for inspection planning and for assessment of leak-before-break margins. Therefore, it is very important to have...

2006:24 Crack Characterisation for In-service Inspection Planning An Update
The need to qualify non-destructive testing systems (NDT systems) for pre- and in-service inspection has been recognised to a greater or lesser extent for many years in many countries engaged in nuclear power generation. However, NDT in general and qualification of NDT systems in particular are multidisciplinary and complex tasks. Development of NDT systems and demonstration of their...
