TECHNICAL NOTE Pitfalls in Lactate Measurements at 3T
T. Lange U. Dydak T.P.L. Roberts H.A. Rowley M. Bjeljac P. Boesiger SUMMARY: In clinical MR spectroscopy at higher field strengths, lactate may show reduced or absent signal intensity at an echo time of 144 ms. Although this false-negative result may be predicted from theory, experimental verification and clinical impact have not been fully established. Using scanners from 3 major vendors, spec...
متن کاملGold nanoparticles as a radio-sensitizer of colon cancer cells at high megavoltage energies: An In-Vitro study
Introduction: In the point of physical view, there are no significant differences between tumor and normal tissues during radiation therapy. Radio-sensitizers have a key role to address the issue. Exploiting high atomic number, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been introduced as novel radio-sensitizers and have shown promising result in the field. Owing to high mass attenuation c...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication Process of MTF Phantom CT Scan
Introduction: One of the main steps in the optimization process in diagnostic imaging is the quality control of radiology devices. The usual method of CT scan calibration is used of a phantom. The phantom created a certain weakening for the radiation through which it passes. One of the most suitable methods for quantitative analysis of the resolution and contrast in CT scan im...
متن کاملSpectre: An Improved Phantom Edge Finder
Both edge finders use the topological sum to remove noise from second difference responses, so that zero-crossings in these responses represent reliable boundaries. Spectre applies the same techniques to a combination of first and third differences, producing a new map that reliably distinguishes real boundaries from spurious boundaries appearing in staircase intensity patterns. Similar process...
متن کاملAstrophysically Important Reaction Rates For Novae And Xray Bursts From Proton Breakup At Intermediate Energies
We discuss the use of one-nucleon removal reactions of loosely bound nuclei at intermediate energies as an indirect method in nuclear astrophysics. The breakup reactions are proved to be good spectroscopic tools and can be used to study a large number of loosely bound protonor neutron-rich nuclei over a wide range of beam energies. As peripheral processes, they can be used to extract asymptotic...
