Rocking curve imaging for diamond radiator crystal selection

Diamond X-ray Rocking Curve and Topograph Measurements at CHESS

X-ray rocking curve and topograph measurements were carried out at CHESS in Cornell University in November 2006. The purpose of this experiment was to check if the X-ray facility at CHESS is suitable to be used for GlueX in assessing diamond crystal quality and investigating radiation damage and surface deformation induced by milling. After modifying the C1 beam line by using an asymmetry silic...

Filter selection for 99mTc-Sestamibi myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging [Persian]

Myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging with Tc99m-sestamibi is the most accurate non-invasive means of detecting coronary artery disease and assessing the severity of perfusion abnormalities in the patients with coronary stenosis. Though simple and straight forward the results produced by the technique is very much affected by the details being used. One of the main problems with the test, wh...

Three-dimensional rocking curve imaging to measure the effective distortion in the neighbourhood of a defect within a crystal: an ice example

Rocking curve imaging (RCI) is a quantitative version of monochromatic beam diffraction topography that involves using a two-dimensional detector, each pixel of which records its own 'local' rocking curve. From these local rocking curves one can reconstruct maps of particularly relevant quantities (e.g. integrated intensity, angular position of the centre of gravity, FWHM). Up to now RCI images...
