Optimization of Parameters in 16-slice CT-scan Protocols for Reduction of the Absorbed Dose
Introduction In computed tomography (CT) technology, an optimal radiation dose can be achieved via changing radiation parameters such as mA, pitch factor, rotation time and tube voltage (kVp) for diagnostic images. Materials and Methods In this study, the brain, abdomen, and thorax scaning was performed using Toshiba 16-slice scannerand standard AAPM and CTDI phantoms. AAPM phantom was used for...
متن کاملIris Image Quality Parameters and Imaging Performance
The performance of an iris recognition system can be undermined by poor quality images and result in high false reject rates (FRR) and failure to enrol (FTE) rates. In this article, a signal to noise ratio (SNR), Grey scale Density, Contrast between sclera and Iris, contrast between iris and pupil quality measure for iris images is proposed. The merit of this approach lies in its ability to dif...
متن کاملEffect of Scan Time on Resting State Parameters
EFFECT OF SCAN TIME ON RESTING STATE PARAMETERS by Dhruti Patel In the past decade the interest in studying the spontaneous low-frequency fluctuations (LFF) in a resting-state brain has steadily grown. By measuring LFF (< 0.08 Hz) in blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signals, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) has proven to be a powerful tool in exploring brain netw...
متن کاملEvaluation of imaging performance of major image guidance systems
PURPOSE The imaging characteristics of two popular kV cone-beam CT (CBCT) and two MVCT systems utilised in image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was performed on Varian Clinac iX, Elekta Synergy S, Siemens Oncor, and Tomotherapy. A CT phantom (Catphan-504, Phantom Laboratory, Salem, NY) was scanned for measurements of image quality including ima...
متن کاملStereoscopic Integrated Imaging Goggles for Multimodal Intraoperative Image Guidance
We have developed novel stereoscopic wearable multimodal intraoperative imaging and display systems entitled Integrated Imaging Goggles for guiding surgeries. The prototype systems offer real time stereoscopic fluorescence imaging and color reflectance imaging capacity, along with in vivo handheld microscopy and ultrasound imaging. With the Integrated Imaging Goggle, both wide-field fluorescenc...
