A proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis of concentration of trace elements in varicose veins
Background: Proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) has been applied as reliable and improved techniques in this study to compare concentration of various trace elements in normal and abnormal varicose veins. Materials and Methods: Five samples from normal veins and 13 samples from varicose veins bombarded by 2.0 MeV energy proton beams produced by a Van de Graff accelerator in vacuum. T...
متن کاملMonte Carlo comparison of x-ray and proton CT for range calculations of proton therapy beams.
Proton computed tomography (CT) has been described as a solution for imaging the proton stopping power of patient tissues, therefore reducing the uncertainty of the conversion of x-ray CT images to relative stopping power (RSP) maps and its associated margins. This study aimed to investigate this assertion under the assumption of ideal detection systems. We have developed a Monte Carlo framewor...
متن کاملProton-induced X-ray Emission
Black particles, collected by filtration (1.2~pm pore size) from the anoxic waters of a soft-water lake, were examined by a scanning proton microprobe which permitted quantitative elemental analysis by proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) and Rutherford backscattering (RBS). There was a uniform distribution of sulfur across the filter, but Fe, and to a lesser extent, Mn, was localized in -5-pm-...
متن کاملImaging by using proton-induced quasi- monochromatic X-ray emission
Quasi-monochromatic X-ray emission induced by MeV-proton bombardment onto metallic targets was applied to radiography of small samples. The X-ray energy was adjusted in the range of z4–23 keV by changing the target material. The radiograms were recorded on an imaging plate. A small phantom made of Lucite was prepared for the test of photography using a contrast medium (RuCl3$H2O; ruthenium chlo...
متن کاملThe fabrication of x-ray masks using proton beam writing
We have developed a simplified method of fabricating x-ray masks for deep x-ray lithography by using proton beam writing (PBW) without subsequent soft x-ray copying steps. Combining direct PBW and subsequent electroplating, x-ray masks with gold absorber patterns of up to 11 μm height and with vertical and smooth sidewalls were fabricated. The smallest size in the absorber pattern is less than ...
