Whole-body DXA evaluation in HIV patients
Background After the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy for the treatment of HIV infection, metabolic abnormalities were increasingly observed, associated with both protease inhibitors and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, characterized by abnormal fat distribution in the body (lipoatrophy, lipohypertrophy or both), hyperglycemia and lean tissue mass wasting. Howeve...
متن کاملEvaluation of a new body composition phantom for quality control and cross-calibration of DXA devices.
This study evaluated a new body composition phantom and its use for quality control and cross-calibration of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) instruments for measurements of body composition. We imaged the variable composition phantom (Lunar, Madison, WI) on eight different DXA devices. Deviations of up to 7% fat were observed when we compared the percent fat values measured by the differ...
متن کاملDesign, Construction and Evaluation of an Anthropomorphic Head Phantom for Assessment of Image Distortion in Stereotactic Radiosurgery Planning Systems
Introduction: In recent years, the use of magnetic resonance (MR) images in radiation treatment planning has drawn considerable attention. However, although the extent of a tumor can be determined in great detail on MR images, the geometric accuracy of these images is limited by distortions stemming from the inhomogeneity of the static background magnetic field, the nonlineari...

متن کاملDesign and fabrication of a realistic anthropomorphic heterogeneous head phantom for MR purposes
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to design an anthropomorphic heterogeneous head phantom that can be used for MRI and other electromagnetic applications. MATERIALS AND METHODS An eight compartment, physical anthropomorphic head phantom was developed from a 3T MRI dataset of a healthy male. The designed phantom was successfully built and preliminarily evaluated through an application tha...
