How to Set up an Effective Food Tax?; Comment on “Food Taxes: A New Holy Grail?”
Whereas public information campaigns have failed to reverse the rising trend in obesity, economists support food taxes as they suggest they can force individuals to change their eating behavior and make the agro-food industry think more about healthy food products. Excise taxes based on the unhealthy nutrient content would be more effective since they impact more on unhealthy food products than...
متن کاملAn insulated three coil set-up for MR studies on swimming fish operating in seawater
Heavy loading, strong RF loss and the skin effect complicate MR investigations in electric conductive, dielectric media. A set-up was developed for MR studies on swimming marine fish that reduces these limitations. A birdcage resonator adapted to high loadings was used for signal excitation. An insulated inductive coil (2 cm diameter) was fixed onto the fish and placed opposite to a watertight,...
متن کاملImplications of tissue magnetic susceptibility-related distortion on the rotating magnet in an MR-linac design.
PURPOSE One of the recently published concepts that combine the soft-tissue imaging capabilities of MRI with external beam radiotherapy involves the rigid coupling of a linac with a rotating biplanar low-field MR imaging system. While such a system would prevent possible image distortion resulting from relative motion between the magnet and the linac, the rotation of the magnet around the patie...
متن کاملEffect of radiation induced current on the quality of MR images in an integrated linac-MR system.
PURPOSE In integrated linac-MRI systems, the RF coils are exposed to the linac's pulsed radiation, leading to a measurable radiation induced current (RIC). This work (1) visualizes the RIC in MRI raw data and determines its effect on the MR image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) (b) examines the effect of linac dose rate on SNR degradations, (c) examines the RIC effect on different MRI sequences, (d...
متن کاملInfluence of macromolecule baseline on 1H MR spectroscopic imaging reproducibility
PURPOSE Poorly characterized macromolecular (MM) and baseline artefacts are known to reduce metabolite quantitation accuracy in 1 H MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI). Increasing echo time (TE) and improvements in MM analysis schemes have both been proposed as strategies to improve metabolite measurement reliability. In this study, the influence of TE and two MM analysis schemes on MRSI reproducib...
