An instrumented bone/soft tissue phantom designed to mimic HIFU treatments of bone
Background/introduction Clinically, HIFU exposures of bone are used to palliate pain from primary or secondary bone tumours. Such tumours weaken bone structure and render the patient susceptible to bone fracture. Ultrasound metrology for bone exposures is extremely challenging. The ultrasound beam is strongly reflected at the bone surface, with rapid surface absorption of sound entering the cor...
متن کاملFormulation and characterization of an experimental PCB mixture designed to mimic human exposure from contaminated fish.
Each environmental exposure matrix contains a unique mixture of PCB congeners. Since several congener types have multiple and distinct biological actions, it is important to characterize congener profiles in exposure sources. The Fox River Environment and Diet Study (FRIENDS) is assessing the human health effects of consumption of PCB-contaminated fish from the Fox River in northeastern Wiscons...
متن کاملDevelopment of an afferent neural interface designed to mimic natural proprioception
We have developed an efferent brain machine interface (BMI) that allows monkey subjects to grasp objects despite a peripheral nerve block causing complete paralysis of the flexor muscles below the elbow. We anticipate that such a system might ultimately provide spinal cord injured patients with control of arm and hand movements through normal cognitive processes, and greatly enhance their indep...
متن کاملEvaluation of an innovative plastic cube phantom designed to improve the efficiency of accelerator QA
A new cubic phantom was designed to improve the efficiency on the QA measurement of accelerator. It has a variety of applications, such as dose constancy check, depth dose verifications, and symmetry and flatness evaluations. In particular, this new design makes it much easier to perform the check on output constancy vs. gantry angles as a cylindrical ion chamber positioned at the center of the...
