Sono-photoacoustic imaging of gold nanoemulsions: Part II. Real time imaging

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging using exogenous agents can be limited by degraded specificity due to strong background signals. This paper introduces a technique called sono-photoacoustics (SPA) applied to perfluorohexane nanodroplets coated with gold nanospheres. Pulsed laser and ultrasound (US) excitations are applied simultaneously to the contrast agent to induce a phase-transition ultimately cre...

Simulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications

Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...

Designing Real-Time Systems with UML-Part II

The Problem Breathing is important for two primary reasons.1 First of all, it is the means by which oxygen required for metabolic processes is acquired (250ml/min O2 for your standard-issue 70kg adult). Secondly, it is the primary means for the removal of carbon dioxide, a waste product of that very same metabolic process (200ml/min for the same hypothetical adult). In most deep-anesthesia surg...
