Quantitative measurement of ultrasound attenuation and Hepato-Renal Index in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to non-invasively explore new methods of ultrasound attenuation measurements in livers of patients with Non-Alcoholic-Fatty-Liver-Disease (NAFLD) and to measure the liver tissue elasticity. MATERIAL AND METHOD Sixteen patients with NAFLD, twelve patients with liver fibrosis and fifteen healthy subjects were included. Echo Levels (ELs) in dB were measured at...
متن کاملThe Energy Dependence of the Photoelectric Attenuation Coefficient of Substances
Introduction: The photoelectric attenuation coefficient of substances is known to depend upon the energy E of the photon and the effective atomic number of substances (Zeff) as (Zeffx/Ey). No definitive values about these indices x, y are given in the literature. The index x is said to lie between, 3.0 and 4.0, while for ‘y’ different values have been assigned, between 3.0 and 4.0. Method...
متن کاملUltrasound attenuation coefficient in the fetal liver as a function of gestational age.
An apparent increase in the ultrasound attenuation coefficient per unit frequency, alpha f, of fetal liver as a function of gestational age has been observed. Measurements were made in utero with a 25 megasample/sec RF digitizer and a real time ultrasound system with a 5 MHz scan head. A precise measurement of alpha f was employed in which the intercept was tied to 0 at a frequency of 0. In 178...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Attenuation Coefficient of Composite Silicone Rubber and Gliceryn for Soft Tissue Phantom Applications
Introduction: Phantom is an object that can be used to investigate the accuracy of radiation dose delivered to patients. Phantom is usually produced from the combination of the silicone rubber as a matrix and glycerin as a filler to form a composite for the replacement of the human soft tissue. The composite is imaged using computed tomography (CT) simulator for the de...
متن کامل60Co γ-ray attenuation coefficient of barite concrete
ABSTRACT Introduction: Recently uses of medium and high energy x-rays has been increased in Iran and radiotherapy centers along with a variety of accelerators have been installed in some provinces. In the other hand there is no sufficient skill in designing and making radiotherapy treatment rooms. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of different m...
