An anthropomorphic beating heart phantom for cardiac X‐ray CT imaging evaluation
The current work describes an anthropomorphic beating heart phantom constructed as a tool for the assessment of technological advances in cardiac x-ray computed tomography (CT). The phantom is comprised of a thorax, a compressor system, an ECG system, a beating heart with tortuous coronary arteries, and the option to add or remove pathologies such as aberrant beats, stents, and plaques. Initial...
متن کاملX-ray properties of an anthropomorphic breast phantom for MRI and x-ray imaging.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the x-ray properties of a dual-modality, anthropomorphic breast phantom whose MRI properties have been previously evaluated. The goal of this phantom is to provide a platform for optimization and standardization of two- and three-dimensional x-ray and MRI breast imaging modalities for the purpose of lesion detection and discrimination. The phantom is...
متن کاملRadiation dose evaluation in tomosynthesis and C-arm cone-beam CT examinations with an anthropomorphic phantom.
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to evaluate organ dose and the effective dose to patients undergoing tomosynthesis (TS) and C-arm cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) examinations and to compare the doses to those in multidetector CT (MDCT) scans. METHODS Patient doses were measured with small sized silicon-photodiode dosimeters, 48 in number, which were implanted at various tissue an...
متن کاملEvaluation of a 4D Cone-Beam CT Reconstruction Approach Using an Anthropomorphic Phantom
We have previously developed image-guided navigation systems for thoracic abdominal interventions utilizing a three dimensional (3D) Cone-Beam CT (CBCT) image acquired at breath-hold. These systems required the physician to perform the intervention in a gated manner, with actions performed at the same respiratory phase in which the CBCT image was acquired. This approach is not always applicable...
متن کاملEvaluation of multifunctional targeted gold nanoparticles on X-ray attenuation in nasopharyngeal cancer cells by X- ray imaging
Introduction: Head-and-neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide with the number of cases consistently increasing in developing countries. Successful development of effective, safe and cost effective nanoprobes for head-and-neck cancer targeting imaging is a big challenge. This study is aimed to develop cysteamine-folate conjugated gold nanoparticles (F-Cys-AuNPs) a...
